"Kraven's Last Hunt" is a comic book storyline by J. M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck published in 1987, featuring the final battle between Marvel Comics characters Kraven the Hunter and Spider-Man.
Considered one of the greatest Spider-Man stories, the story was originally published in Web of Spider-Man #31–32, The Amazing Spider-Man #293–294, and Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #131–132, and less than two years later it was collected in a trade paperback, and it has been reprinted in that form numerous times since. No title for the overall storyline appears in the original comics, which simply refer to it as "a 6-part saga" on their covers. The initial editions of the trade paperback were titled "Fearful Symmetry: Kraven's Last Hunt", always with the "Kraven's Last Hunt" part in a much larger font, and later editions dropped the "Fearful Symmetry" part of the title entirely. The character Kraven the Hunter was retired from the story's original publication until 2009.
