Mary Jane Watson has long been one of Marvel’s most recognizable supporting characters, but over the years she has grown far beyond that label. Since her full debut in Amazing Spider-Man #42, the character created by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. has evolved from Peter Parker’s love interest into a figure with her own distinct identity, moving through storylines as a model, a hero, and even a symbiote host. Now, on the occasion of her 60th anniversary, Marvel is spotlighting that evolution with Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger #1, a giant-sized one-shot designed to revisit key moments from her past while pointing toward what comes next.

Let’s take a closer look.

First of all, you need to make sure that you’ve got your foundations in check.

There are some cars you park and forget, and then there are cars like this wildly painted Fiat 500 spotted in the Chelsea Gallery District that feel like they belong in a gallery all their own.
Covered in a riot of color, spray-paint swirls, drippy graffiti-style flourishes, and layered street art details, this little Fiat turns an ordinary curbside parking spot into an outdoor exhibition.
