Marvel Tales #106

This 1979 reprint from Marvel's Marvel Tales series puts Spider-Man squarely in the crosshairs — literally — as the cover by Gil Kane and John Romita shows the Punisher leveling a smoking firearm directly at a dodging, wide-eyed Spider-Man framed within a sniper's target circle. The bold cover copy teases not just one threat but two, warning that the Jackal lurks behind the most murderous plot of all time. It's a tense, kinetic image that makes a strong case for why "The Punisher Strikes Twice!" — from the creative team of Gerry Conway and Ross Andru — remains a memorable chapter in Spidey's history.
