“When a Spider-Man Comes Calling!”

In "When a Spider-Man Comes Calling!", the Fantastic Four face a chilling deception when the Trapster masquerades as the captured Spider-Man, luring the Frightful Four into the Baxter Building. With Reed Richards on the defensive and the real Spider-Man breaking free, the team must unravel the ruse before the building is overrun. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by John Byrne’s dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s precise inks, this 1980 issue delivers a tense, clever twist — all under Al Milgrom’s cover pencils and Sinnott’s inks.
