Spider-Man Family #1
In "Homesick," Spider-Man grapples with the cost of heroism when a rescue mission for Jonah falls flat, while Aunt May’s health takes a sudden turn during a protest for the elderly. Flash’s return to a ruined apartment turns into a nightmare when the Green Goblin reappears—Spider-Man’s resolve tested as he faces the terrifying moment when Flash is thrown from a window. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Ross Andru, Jim Mooney, and Tony DeZuniga, with colors by Glynis Wein and letters by Joe Rosen, the issue’s cover by Marcelo DiChiara captures the tension of a hero at his breaking point.
In "Sand Blasted," Peter’s excitement over a date with Betty quickly fades when the Sandman defeats Spider-Man, leaving him wallowing in self-doubt. Betty steps in with a heartfelt pep talk, reigniting Peter’s resolve—and Spider-Man swings into action to face the villain once more.
In "He Who Laughs Last...!", Spider-Man races to save Jonah from the Hitman, only to face a grudging thanks—and then a new crisis when Flash returns to find his apartment ransacked and the Green Goblin waiting. With Aunt May hospitalized after a protest for the elderly, Spider-Man must juggle personal stakes and escalating danger, as Flash’s life hangs in the balance and the Goblin’s twisted game begins to unfold.
