Beaux Arts hors-série #12
"The Yellow Kid's R-R-R-Revenge" delivers a fresh, fever-dream take on a classic origin, reimagining Peter Parker’s transformation with a surreal twist that lingers long after the final panel. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with his signature intensity by Steve Ditko—whose inks and Stan Goldberg’s colors heighten the story’s eerie tone—this 2010 TTM Editions special captures the moment Peter Parker gains his powers and faces the weight of his first failure. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott, sets a bold, nostalgic tone that perfectly complements the issue’s feverish energy.
