“Captured by J. Jonah Jameson”

Spider-Man's most persistent critic finally gets the upper hand — the cover of this 1984 reprint issue shows a helpless Spider-Man completely cocooned in thick, writhing cables while a gleeful J. Jonah Jameson looms triumphantly in the background, his familiar scowl twisted into a grin of victory. Steve Ditko's cover art captures the sheer indignity of the wall-crawler's predicament with wonderful clarity, and the story title "Captured by J. Jonah Jameson!" makes it clear this isn't just an idle boast. With Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's original creative team behind the interior tale, Marvel Tales #163 is a terrific way to revisit one of Spider-Man's most entertainingly personal rivalries.
