Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben May Be ‘Dead No More’
During a Diamond Retailer Breakfast at C2E2 2016, Marvel Comics pulled back the curtain on Alexander Lozano's cover for Dead No More.
The cover -- pictured below, courtesy of Newsarama -- features a number of deceased characters from the Spider-Man universe, including Jean DeWolff, George Stacy, and, most notably, Uncle Ben.
