El Hombre Araña / El Asombroso Hombre Araña #402

In this 1988 issue of El Asombroso Hombre Araña #402, the web-slinger faces a new threat when Flash Thompson’s escape triggers a citywide panic, with everyone hunting the man they believe to be the New Goblin. With Jameson hiring Factor-X to capture Spider-Man—convincing them he’s a mutant—the hero, still recovering from his clash with Rhino, must confront the mercenary team head-on. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, with inks by Bob Layton, the cover by Ron Frenz and Joe Rubinstein captures the tension of a hero pushed to his limits.
