In "Just a Guy Named Joe!", an ordinary man named Joe Smith—no superhero, just a guy—tries to prove himself as an actor, only to be transformed into a rampaging robotic monster after a freak accident. As chaos unfolds, Spider-Man faces relentless attacks from Norman Osborn’s hired thugs, all while narrowly avoiding a chance encounter with Mary Jane. Written by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with Ditko handling art, inks, and colors, and Stan Goldberg adding his signature palette, this 2017 Marvel Comics Digest tale blends suburban frustration with high-stakes action—every page drawn with Ditko’s unmistakable precision and flair.
