L'Uomo Ragno Classic #21

In "Missione: Schiacciare Kingpin," Spider-Man takes on the formidable Kingpin in a high-stakes clash that ends with the villain felled by his own weapon. As police arrest Kingpin for stealing a priceless tablet, he shifts blame onto Spider-Man, who’s already inside the vault retrieving the artifact—only to be shot at when trying to return it.

In "Ricercato," Spider-Man is still on the run, hiding a crucial tablet in Peter’s closet as the Kingpin escapes jail with a vow to claim both him and the mysterious artifact. The two clash in a brutal showdown, but before the fight can end, Jonah Jameson—driven by Ned Leeds—arrives demanding the police. A sleek car with a mysterious woman at the wheel pulls up, and the Kingpin vanishes, leaving Spider-Man caught between fury and guilt. When Jameson collapses after a furious outburst, Spider-Man is left staring at the aftermath, wondering if his rage has crossed a line.
