Provenance

Where it came from

The Shock trading card, numbered 27, was released as part of the 1990 Marvel Universe Series 1 set produced by Impel. This landmark collection was one of the first major attempts to catalog the expansive Marvel comic book roster into a cohesive trading card format, marking a significant moment in the intersection of comic book culture and the early 1990s collectibles boom.

The card features the character Shock, a minor antagonist known for his brief appearance in Spider-Man comics. The design follows the series' signature layout, which typically paired dynamic, colorful comic panel art with detailed biographical statistics and 'power grid' rankings on the reverse side. The artwork is reflective of the house style established by Marvel's editorial team during this era, focusing on vibrant saturation and action-oriented compositions to appeal to the younger, burgeoning collector base of the time.
