This was an ad that was sent to comic shops to promote the Spider-Man/ Batman team up. I’ve never seen this image before, but it’s a classic from Mark Bagley. I recently found this on an ebay auction.

I remember Batman defeating Carnage a little too easily.
Never seen this before!!!
I recently reread this since I’m working a fan fiction thing that involves Carnage. Still holds up fairly well.
Just checked my database. I do own it. I probably would have recognized it more from the the cover.
Thanks for the information. I’ll add it to my list of back issue purchases.
Yeah, this one-shot was the shit. I wish Marvel / DC would re-release it, packaged along with the DC comics sequel by Doug Moench. I never got to read that one.
@Jason – It was called “Spider-Man and Batman” on the cover but inside it was titled “Disordered Minds.” I recommend tracking it down. There’s some 90s dark weirdness but overall it was a fun book, beautifully drawn by Bagley.
Here’s the cover: http://66.media.tumblr.com/69f21d89a20ce0cd9addaffa90194b67/tumblr_mih3kkQOyj1rvkwl5o1_1280.jpg
Is this something that was already released? I don’t think I remember a comic with Batman, Spider-Man, Joker, and Carnage. What’s the title?
