Venom: Separation Anxiety #1 — Gerardo Sandoval Variant Cover (2024)

This Gerardo Sandoval Variant Cover presents Venom trapped inside a dense web of silvery-white strands. The monstrous symbiote dominates the composition, crouched and restrained with his enormous tooth-filled grin and elongated tongue prominently visible. His dark blue, black and white body contrasts against a sickly green and yellow organic mass in the background.

The surrounding webbing creates a claustrophobic effect, emphasizing the cover's theme of separation, confinement and symbiotic struggle. Venom's exaggerated musculature, sharp teeth and aggressive expression give the image a particularly feral appearance, while the green highlights and dark shadows reinforce the horror-inspired tone.

The large VENOM logo occupies the upper portion of the cover, with “SEPARATION ANXIETY” displayed beneath it. The cover also carries the Variant Edition designation and the $4.99 price.

The catalog record confirms the 00131 UPC as the Gerardo Sandoval Variant, distinguishing it from the regular Paulo Siqueira cover and the separate Sandoval Gold and Silver variants.
