In "The End of Spider-Man!", a 1968 Marvel Tales #13, Calvin Zabo’s transformation into Mister Hyde ignites a dangerous chain of events after being rejected by Doctor Blake—only for Thor’s intervention to complicate matters further when Hyde learns Blake survived, thanks to the god of thunder. With Thor falsely accused of bank robbery and the city on edge, Spider-Man finds himself caught in a storm of suspicion and escalating threats. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Don Heck, with vibrant colors by Stan Goldberg and bold lettering by Art Simek, the issue’s iconic cover by Steve Ditko and John Verpoorten captures the chaos in striking detail.
