Green Goblin #9

Mid-'90s Marvel's Green Goblin series delivers a gripping cover for issue #9, with Scott McDaniel and Derek Fisher depicting the Goblin in full purple-and-green regalia, visibly straining as serpentine, mechanical coils wrap around him and pumpkin bombs scatter through the air — all beneath the ominous tagline "No Escape from Netshape!" The composition crackles with urgency, selling the idea that even a Goblin can find himself thoroughly outmatched. Part of the Spider-Man family of titles in 1996, this is a solid chapter in a series that gave the mantle a fresh and energetic spotlight.
