Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Gene Colan with inks by Frank Giacoia and letters by Sam Rosen, this gripping tale blends social tension with superhero action. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby, John Romita, Marie Severin, and Bill Everett, captures the intensity of the moment.
