El Hombre Araña / El Asombroso Hombre Araña #441

In "Síntesis," a botched science experiment transforms Steve Petty into the unstable Phreak, forcing El Asombroso Hombre Araña to confront a new threat with unpredictable powers. As the web-slinger grapples with this danger, a mysterious figure takes up the mantle of the second Tarántula, while Robbie Robertson uncovers the unsettling return of the notorious Tombstone in New York City. Written by Gerry Conway and Delfina Fuentes, with art by Alex Saviuk and Keith Williams, and a cover by Sal Buscema, this 1989 issue blends scientific horror with urban tension in a pivotal chapter of the Spider-Man saga.
