The Amazing Spider-Man #287
In "…And There Shall Come a Reckoning," Spider-Man races through the city’s underbelly, tracking down Daredevil while confronting a drug den and a surprising visit from Matt Murdock at Aunt May’s—leading to a tense showdown that turns physical. As the hunt for the Kingpin heats up, a shocking twist unfolds when Spidey battles what he believes to be the criminal mastermind, only to be saved by Daredevil himself, who insists on taking down the Kingpin through justice, not vengeance. Written by Jim Owsley and illustrated by Erik Larsen, with dynamic inks by Art Nichols and colors by Julianna Ferriter, this 1987 issue delivers high-stakes tension and a pivotal moment in the web-slinger’s journey. The cover by Bob Hall and Kyle Baker captures the intensity of the clash, setting the tone for a story where trust and identity are as dangerous as the criminal underworld.
