Armando Iannucci has appealed to fans to explain why the cast of his hit show The Thick Of It have appeared in an upcoming issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.
The crossover appears in the December edition of the comic book series with a new picture showing sweary disgraced spin doctor Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) on a double decker bus with his colleagues.
He looks on in horror (although to be fair that’s his natural expression) as Spider-Man is attacked outside on the street in London.
Iannucci, who created the satirical BBC show starring Peter Capaldi, tweeted the image asking: ‘Anyone know why Thick of It cast are in recent Spiderman issue? As a lifelong Marvel fan I’m delighted. And curious.’
