L'étonnant Spider-Man #157/158
In "Le retour!", Peter Parker finds himself caught in a high-stakes scandal when his sports reporting uncovers a pro football quarterback throwing games for a new mob boss known only as the Rose.

Spider-Man faces off against the Rose in a dramatic first encounter, setting the stage for a clash of wits and webs. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, with inks by Bill Anderson and colors by Glynis Oliver, this 1984 issue features a cover by Ron Frenz and Klaus Janson.
