In "Puppets," Peter Parker’s unexpected society page assignment for the Daily Bugle leads him to a gallery show at Four Freedoms Plaza, where Alicia Masters is showcasing her art. When the event takes a dark turn, Spider-Man and the Human Torch find themselves confronting Alicia’s menacing stepfather, the Puppetmaster, in a clash that turns the gallery into a battleground. Written by Michael Higgins and illustrated by Andy Kuhn, with colors by Kevin Tinsley and letters by Steve Dutro, the issue’s cover by Andy Kuhn captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
