The Amazing Spider-Man #70

Mar 1969 · Marvel · 0.12 USD
“Spider-Man Wanted!”

In "Spider-Man Wanted!", Peter Parker is still on the run, hiding the mysterious tablet in his closet while the Kingpin escapes jail with a vow to capture him. As their explosive clash unfolds, chaos erupts when Ned Leeds drags Jonah Jameson into the fray, only for a mysterious woman in a car to whisk the Kingpin away—leaving Spider-Man facing a furious Jameson. The confrontation escalates when Spider-Man finally snaps, shouting back at the editor, leaving Jameson in a shocking state. The fallout is immediate, and the question lingers: has Spider-Man crossed a line? Written by Stan Lee and John Romita, with art by John Romita and Jim Mooney, and a cover by John Romita, this pivotal issue captures the tension and moral weight of a hero pushed to his limits.
