In "The Horns of the Rhino!", Peter Parker tries to leave the life of Spider-Man behind, focusing instead on college and his aunt’s well-being—only to see chaos rise when a discarded suit ends up on display at the Daily Bugle. With crime surging under the Kingpin’s growing influence, Peter’s sense of responsibility begins to stir, testing his resolve once more. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita, with inks by Mickey Demeo, colors by Evelyn Stein, and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1992 Marvel Masterworks entry features a striking cover by John Romita and Mike Esposito.
In "The Horns of the Rhino!", the massive and relentless Rhino launches a high-stakes kidnapping attempt, targeting John Jameson with the intent of delivering him to foreign agents eager for secrets about the U.S. space program. With the clock ticking and the city at risk, Spider-Man must race to intercept the Rhino before the plan is completed.
In "The Birth of a Super-Hero!", John Jameson returns from a space mission altered by mysterious spores, emerging with super strength and a new purpose. When Spider-Man is wrongfully accused of a bank robbery, Jameson—driven by his own sense of justice—steps in to bring the web-slinger to justice, unaware of the chaos his actions might unleash.
In "From the Depths of Defeat!", Peter struggles to recover from his latest battle with the new Vulture, only to be spurred into action when he sees televised footage of the Vulture clashing with Kraven. With his strength still fading, he pushes through the pain to intervene, determined to stop the escalating fight before it spirals out of control.
When Peter Parker quits being Spider-Man to focus on college and protect Aunt May, the city faces rising crime as the Kingpin consolidates power. A discarded suit ends up in the Daily Bugle’s hands, sparking public fascination—until Peter, haunted by the consequences of his absence, recalls Uncle Ben’s lesson and reclaims his role as the web-slinger.
In "...To Become an Avenger!", the Avengers challenge Spider-Man to prove his worth by capturing the Hulk—a task that tests his courage, cunning, and resolve. With the stakes high and the Hulk on the move, Spider-Man must rely on his wits and agility to succeed.
