The Amazing Spider-Man #272

Jan 1986 · Marvel · 0.65 USD; 0.30 GBP; 0.75 CAD
“Make Way for Slyde!”

In "Make Way for Slyde!", Spider-Man confronts a new foe whose slick tactics and surprising morals blur the line between hero and villain—especially when the criminal turns on his former boss and hands him over to D.A. Tower. With Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Kyle Baker’s sharp inks bringing the action to life, this 1986 issue delivers a fresh twist in Spidey’s rogues’ gallery, all under Ron Frenz’s striking cover.
