Die Spinne #47
In "Die Spinne ...und der Dieb!", Peter Parker faces his darkest hour when Mysterio's chemical attack strips him of his powers and Aunt May is murdered—leaving him utterly alone. As Spider-Man pieces together the truth, he uncovers a chilling connection: the killer he’s hunting is the same burglar responsible for Uncle Ben’s death decades earlier. Written by Marv Wolfman and Stan Lee, with dynamic art by Keith Pollard and Jim Mooney, and colored by Glynis Wein, this 1982 issue delivers a haunting, emotionally charged story. The cover, by John Romita, captures the moment of revelation with striking intensity.
