The Spectacular Spider-Man #14

Jan 1978 · Marvel · 0.35 USD
“Killing Me Softly... ...With His Hate!”

In "Killing Me Softly... ...With His Hate!", Thor faces off against a bizarre invasion force of space-traveling hillbillies known as the Ding-a-Lings in a battle that erupts across Asgard. With the clash escalating, Sif intervenes in a surprisingly sweet twist—using Hostess Fruit Pies to distract the invaders and halt the conflict. Penciled by Sal Buscema and inked by Joe Sinnott, this 1978 issue delivers a delightfully absurd showdown with art that blends mythic grandeur and whimsical charm, all captured on a cover by Sal Buscema and Frank Giacoia.
