Giant-Size Spider-Man #1
In "Ship of Fiends!", Spider-Man races against time to intercept a mysterious ship carrying a groundbreaking vaccine that could save Aunt May, only to find himself outmaneuvered by Dracula and the Mob, who have their own deadly interest in the eccentric doctor behind the cure. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, Don Heck’s inks, and Glynis Wein’s colors, this 1974 Giant-Size special blends superhero urgency with gothic menace. The cover by John Romita Sr. captures the tension perfectly.
