The Amazing Spider-Man #86
In "Beware... the Black Widow!", Natasha Romanova makes a striking return to New York, clad in a new costume and eager to prove herself—only to find her challenge met by a weakened Spider-Man, who still manages to outfight her. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic pencils and Jim Mooney’s sharp inks, this 1970 issue captures a tense, pivotal clash between two formidable figures. The cover, also by Romita, perfectly frames the moment’s intensity.
