“The Boy Next Door”

The cover of this December 1996 issue poses a tantalizing question right up front — "Who's That Girl?" — as a close-up of a dark-haired young woman fills the frame, her expression caught somewhere between surprise and wonder. The real showstopper is her green-framed sunglasses, each lens reflecting a dynamic image of Spider-Man swinging against a city backdrop, making her the literal lens through which we see our hero. Cover artists Pat Olliffe and George Pérez deliver a genuinely clever composition, and at just 99 cents, this Kurt Busiek-penned chapter of Untold Tales is a reminder of how much invention this series packed into every issue.
