Marvel Knights Spider-Man #20
In "Spider-Man: The Other—Evolve or Die Part Five: Retreat," Peter Parker, grappling with a mysterious illness, makes a desperate and personal choice: he infiltrates Dr. Doom’s castle not for power or revenge, but to reclaim a final moment with Mary Jane and Aunt May—before time itself might erase them. Written by Reginald Hudlin and brought to life by Pat Lee with dynamic inks and colors by Dream Engine, this issue blends intimate vulnerability with high-stakes adventure. The cover by Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel captures the gravity of Peter’s journey, a 2.99 USD story from 2006 that stands as a poignant chapter in Spider-Man’s legacy.
