The Spectacular Spider-Man #1

In "Twice Stings the Tarantula!", Spider-Man faces a double threat when the Tarantula strikes again—first targeting Vice Chancellor Lansky, then attempting to assassinate the mayor of New York. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Mike Esposito and Dave Hunt, this 1976 issue delivers a tense, action-packed showdown that keeps the web-slinger on his toes. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Sal Buscema and John Romita, captures the high-stakes drama in bold, classic Marvel style.
