Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man #6
In "In the Clutches of... the Kingpin!", Spider-Man finds himself trapped in a deadly showdown with the Kingpin beneath the Daily Bugle, where the criminal mastermind attempts to drown both the web-slinger and J. Jonah Jameson. With Flash Thompson back on leave from the military, tensions rise as Foswell makes a desperate stand—betraying Kingpin to save Jameson, at a cost he may not survive. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic art, with inks by Mickey Demeo and letters by Sam Rosen, this gripping tale of loyalty and sacrifice is a standout in the early Spider-Man saga, with a cover by John Romita.
