“The Menace of the Molten Man”

Against a stark black background, this 1984 reprint issue presents a striking cover by Steve Ditko — Spider-Man's red webbing and shadowy silhouette snake dramatically across the darkness while the glowing, metallic Molten Man looms large and menacing at center. The cover teases two treats in one package: "The Menace of the Molten Man" and, as the banner proudly announces, Peter Parker's Graduation. Ditko's bold linework gives the confrontation a tense, atmospheric energy that makes this an appealing addition to any Marvel Tales collection.
