Captain America #6
In "L'ombre de Spider-Man," a science fiction writer's wild imagination takes a terrifying turn when his latest tale somehow brings its monstrous creation to life—forcing him to battle the creature in his own home before finally banishing it through sheer will. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Reed Crandall and coloring by Stan Goldberg, this 1979 issue captures a classic Marvel blend of suspense and surrealism. The cover, by Sal Buscema, perfectly captures the story’s creeping dread.
