The Amazing Spider-Man #264
In "Red 9 and Red Tape!", Spider-Man faces off against a wild, over-the-top Texas teen in a modified super suit eager to prove he’s the next big hero—while also navigating a bizarre bureaucratic maze that somehow promises to resurrect an old man, if only on paper. Written by Craig Anderson and illustrated by Paty, with colors by Bob Sharen and letters by Phil Felix, this 1985 classic blends high-octane action with a uniquely absurd twist, all wrapped in a cover by William Johnson and Joe Rubinstein.

Spider-Man has his hands full with a hopped up Texas teenager in a souped up super suit who’s itching to prove himself by taking our hero down. At the same time, he also cuts through a mile of red tape to bring an old man back to life (on paper at least).
