The Amazing Spider-Man #82

In "And Then Came Electro!", Peter Parker takes a risky step toward public acceptance by appearing on a live TV talk show—only to find himself facing Max Dillon, a villain working behind the scenes at the network. With J. Jonah Jameson pulling strings and Electro unleashing his powers in front of a national audience, Spider-Man’s fight is as much about reputation as it is about survival. Written by Stan Lee and John Romita, with art by Romita, Mooney, and Severin, and a cover by Marie Severin and John Romita, this 1970 issue captures a tense, high-stakes clash that leaves both hero and foe battered—no clear winner, just the cost of the spotlight.
