Venom lethal Protector collection:
This is a labor of love. I remember when I first saw that shining red foil cover. It was like red gold and I've had gold fever ever since. I have accumulated everything Venom: Lethal Protector Including dozens of books that are not on this list, some graded some not just yet. I acquired the black error issue in a 9.8 and signature series books. All of these books are signature series. The lowest grade in the set is the Marvel Italia Red foil # 0, at a 9.2 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa as of 9-24-20 this is the second highest grade on the census for this book. The next lowest grade is The Marvel Italia Platinum #0, at a 9.6 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa. The Venom: Lethal Protector Black Cover error is next at a 9.8 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa 1 of 14 Signature Series in 9.8. Next is the Gold edition signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in a 9.8 (1 of 112 s.s.). The book that started it all is next, the Red Foil #1, signed by Todd Mcfarlane, Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in a 9.8. The #2 is next, I have 2 of these one signed by Todd McFarlane and Mark Bagley and one signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa, both in 9.8s. The #3 is next signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in 9.8. The #4 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in 9.8. #5 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in a 9.8 and #6 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in 9.8. I also have the #6 2nd print (2000) Toybiz variant signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa in 9.8 but it is not included in the set (Yet) and the Venom: Lethal Protector TPB (1995) 1st print in a 9.4 signed by Mark Bagley and Sam De La Rosa.

After being thanked by a police officer, the web-slinger asks for some change so he can make a call to his wife, Mary Jane, back in New York City.[Continuity 2] He gets Mary Jane up to date on his search for Venom, saying that he has come to Santa Cruz to investigate sightings of Venom-like monsters that have been attacking public places. He is going to follow up on another lead. While back in the desert, Venom discovers that the containment sphere has no effect on his human half, giving him a possible means of escaping captivity.
Later, Spider-Man arrives at a local mall which is suddenly under attack by a new female symbiote. While back at the Life Foundation compound, Carlton Drake is told by his scientists that they have succeeded in bringing the new symbiote to maturity. Using this same process, they were able to germinate four more symbiotes and matched them with security personnel. While everyone else is preoccupied, Venom withdraws his symbiote from his arm and grabs one of the technicians by the throat. He then tosses him into the computer that powers the containment sphere, freeing himself. When Venom tries to escape but is incapacitated by a sonic blaster. Considering their prisoner, Carlton Drake decides that Eddie Brock has outlived his usefulness and he will be eliminated. While back below the surface of the city, Elizabeth one of the undergrounders living in an underground city, explains to her son why Eddie Brock wasn't allowed to stay among their people.[Continuity 3] This is met with criticism from Nathaniel and Reverend Rakestraw. When Elizabeth reminds them how Venom saved them from the Diggers, Rakestraw explains that their lives are in the hands of God now.
Back at the mall, Spider-Man battles the female symbiote and quickly discovers that it doesn't trigger his spider-sense, much like Venom and Carnage. Still, Spider-Man's experience allows him to get the advantage against her. Realizing that she is losing the fight, the female symbiote radios for an evacuation. In order to escape, she endangers one of the mall goers forcing Spider-Man to save their life while the symbiote escapes. However, Spider-Man manages to spot the escape craft and snags a ride on it as it flies away. Meanwhile, Roland Treece has kidnapped one of the homeless undergrounders and subjects him to torture in order to learn the location of the lost gold that he is really seeking from his park renovation plans. At that moment, Spider-Man arrives at the Life Foundation complex and begins looking for Venom. When he is caught by security, it sets off an alarm. Watching the security the monitors, Carlton Drake decides it is time for Eddie Brock to die. He orders his technicians to sever the bond between Eddie Brock and his symbiote. With the process complete, Drake contacts Spider-Man via video screen and shows him the apparently lifeless body of Eddie Brock. Spider-Man can hardly believe this, unaware of the fact that there are now five symbiotes in the facility looking to destroy him.

Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, Roland Treece is overseeing the park revitalization project. Wanting to get at the gold buried below the park in the underground city, he intends to use a large number of explosives. From the bushes, some of the undergrounders are horrified to see what Treece is planning and they realize that it was a mistake to eject Venom from their hidden sanctuary. While back at the Life Foundation Compound, Eddie Brock wakes up just before the scientist begin conducting the autopsy. They try to incapacitate him with sonic weapons, but without his symbiotic other, the weapon has no effect on him. While a few floors above, Spider-Man realizes that five symbiotes are a bit too much for him to handle. The battle is being watched by Carlton Drake who is impressed with the symbiote's performance. When they destroy Spider-Man, Drake believes they will have proven themselves as the perfect enforcers in the Life Foundations secret compounds. Spider-Man continues to be on the defensive until Eddie Brock arrives. Even though he is stark naked and doesn't have the protection of his symbiote, he still tries to face his five offspring. While back in San Francisco, the undergrounders debate changing their decision on recruiting Venom as their protector. As with the previous discussion on the issue, Reverend Rakestraw refuses to change his decision.
At this moment, Spider-Man and Eddie Brock retreat into one of the labs where they find sonic guns and incapacitate the symbiotes. Brock wants to kill them because they are no longer innocent, but Spider-Man won't let him. While they are arguing, the other symbiotes recover and destroy their sonic guns. On the retreat again, they happen upon the containment unit that is holding Eddie's symbiote. He quickly frees it and becomes Venom once more. As he struggles with one of the symbiotes, Spider-Man tries to find a weapon he can uses to stop the creature. The device he eventually activates is the ray that sped up the symbiote's development. When it strikes Venom's attacker, it causes the symbiotic substance on his arm to crumble to dust. Venom wants to use it to completely destroy the symbiotes, but Spider-Man protests as it may kill the human hosts. While the wall-crawler is distracted, Venom uses a tendril from his symbiote to strangle the hero to unconsciousness.[Continuity 1] When the symbiotes attack him again, Venom activates the device, seemingly destroying the symbiotes and their hosts.[Continuity 2]
Spider-Man comes around just as this happens and he is horrified by the wanton destruction of life. Seeing the death of his symbiotes, Carlton Drake decides to cut his losses and escape. This triggers the self-destruct sequence of the secret base. As Spider-Man rushes to the hanger to find an aircraft to escape in, he realizes that he has lost track of Venom in the confusion. Spider-Man manages to escape moments before the compound explodes. Although he saw no trace of Venom, he is certain that things are far from over. Spider-Man's hunt is correct, as a truck speeds away from the burning base. Inside, Venom is forcing the driver to take him to San Francisco so he can take care of some unfinished business.

After escaping the Life Foundation, Venom goes to the mansion owned by Roland Treece in order to find out why he is trying to renovate a park in San Francisco and evict the homeless who live there. He finds no trace of Treece, but he manages to get ahold of one of his bodyguards. Disarming the man and forcing his way through the security systems, Venom threatens to kill him unless he explains what Treece is trying to do. The guard has no choice but to tell the whole plot. He explains that the part of the city that was swallowed up in the massive earthquake of 1908 also claimed a large cache of gold. Roland Treece learned of this underground city and sought to claim the gold in secret, as it could be claimed by the government if it became public knowledge. This plot became difficult to accomplish when he discovered a group of homeless people living in this underground city. This time, Treece intends to set off a large number of explosives to eliminate all opposition and get the gold he seeks.
