In "De Kegelkoning slaat terug!", Spider-Man takes on a high-stakes chase for a $5,000 reward, tracking the elusive Schemer through a series of acrobatic missteps and near-misses.

Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita and John Buscema, with inks by Jim Mooney, this 1971 classic features dynamic art and a mystery that pulls Spider-Man deeper into a web of deception. The cover, by John Romita, captures the moment of confrontation with sharp, expressive detail.
