The Spectacular Spider-Man #77
In "Relapse Times Two!", Spider-Man finds himself caught between two threats: a vengeful Doc Ock, amped up and promising a brutal return in 24 hours, and Melvin Potter, coerced into wearing the Gladiator costume to aid a gang of thugs. With Felicia recovering in the hospital and the city on edge, Spider-Man must navigate a dangerous confrontation that tests his resolve and the fragile line between redemption and relapse. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by Al Milgrom’s dynamic art, with inks by Jim Mooney and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1983 classic features a cover by Al Milgrom that captures the tension perfectly.
