The Spectacular Spider-Man #161

In "Pardoned!", Spider-Man and Puma race to protect Robbie Robertson after his felony conviction is overturned—only to face a deadly new threat from the Hobgoblin, aided by an unexpected hand from Tombstone. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema (pencils and inks) and vibrant colors by Bob Sharen, this 1990 issue delivers high-stakes action and a pivotal moment in a beloved supporting character’s story. The cover, also by Sal Buscema, captures the tension with a striking image of the masked menace looming over the scene.
