The Amazing Spider-Man #110
In "The Birth of...the Gibbon!", a misfit named Marty Blank takes inspiration from Spider-Man’s heroics and dons an ape-themed costume to become the Gibbon, only to face a harsh reality check when the web-slinger himself mocks his efforts. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita with inks by Tony Mortellaro, this 1972 issue captures a moment of youthful ambition clashing with the harsher world of crime-fighting, all under a cover by John Romita and Frank Giacoia.
