The Spectacular Spider-Man #80

In "I Cover the Waterfront," Jonah Jameson takes a risky dive into a story of dockside corruption, proving his old-school reporter’s instincts are still sharp—though he might not survive the truth without a little help from his unlikely protector, Spider-Man. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by Ron Frenz’s dynamic art, with Kevin Dzuban’s inks and Bob Sharen’s colors, this 1983 issue delivers a tense, character-driven tale that puts the Daily Bugle’s editor in the crosshairs of a shadowy underworld. The cover by John Romita Jr. and John Beatty captures the moment’s high stakes with a sharp, dramatic flair.
