Marvel Tales #127

Marvel Tales #127 brings a delightfully overwhelming threat to the cover, where a wide-eyed Spider-Man faces a simultaneous onslaught from three of his most formidable foes — the Vulture swooping in with wings spread, the hulking Kingpin charging forward, and Sandman lunging from the side. Spider-Man's cover caption — "Is this a nightmare… or am I going mad?" — perfectly captures the disorienting chaos rendered by cover penciler Gil Kane and inker Frank Giacoia. Rounding out this 1981 package is a bonus Triton the Inhuman story, making this a genuinely packed reprint issue for fans of Marvel's silver-age adventures.
