Marvel Age Spider-Man #3
This digest-sized collection presents a selection of stories from the Marvel Age Spider-Man series, a line aimed at younger readers that reimagines classic Spider-Man tales with a modern, accessible twist. Volume 3, 'Swingtime,' continues Peter Parker's early adventures as he balances high school life with his responsibilities as the web-slinger, featuring encounters with familiar foes and allies from his rogues' gallery.
In "The Enforcers!", Peter Parker tries to help his friend Ben stay on the right path as Ben’s brother Blackie Glaxon, now a prisoner, plots a daring breakout with the help of the imprisoned Doctor Octopus. When the escapees strike, taking Betty hostage and fleeing to an abandoned ship, Spider-Man must race to stop them—just as Ben makes a crucial choice that could change everything. With art by Logan Lubera and inks by Craig Yeung, and a cover by Michael Ryan, this 2004 issue blends tense captivity, moral stakes, and high-stakes action in a story written by Todd DeZago, Stan Lee, and Steve Ditko.
