Marvel Tales #142

Aug 1982 · Marvel · 0.60 USD; 0.25 GBP
“Marked for Destruction by Dr. Doom!”

In "Marked for Destruction by Dr. Doom!", Flash Thompson dons a Spider-Man suit to prank Peter Parker—only to end up captured by the mighty Doctor Doom. When Spider-Man finally rescues him, the Fantastic Four take the spotlight, leaving our web-slinger in the shadows. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with sharp precision by Steve Ditko, this 1982 tale blends classic Marvel mischief with high-stakes villainy, all rendered in Ditko’s distinctive style on a cover he both penciled and inked.
