Die Spinne #12

In "Die Vollstrecker," Sub-Mariner finds himself caught in a brutal clash with Krang over New York, only to wake from the fight with no memory of who he is. With his mind vulnerable, the Secret Empire steps in, presenting themselves as allies—and he begins to believe them. Written by Stan Lee and Karen Kramer, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1974 issue blends aquatic fury and psychological intrigue. The cover, a striking collaboration by Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby with inks by Ditko and Ayers, captures the moment of deception with chilling precision.
