“Never Step On a Scorpion!”

This 1984 reprint series delivers Amazing Spider-Man #29 to readers for the first time in this format, spotlighting the story "Never Step On a Scorpion!" The cover by Steve Ditko presents a striking split-panel composition — above the waterline, Spider-Man tumbles headfirst into a crashing wave, while below the surface he faces off against the armored, tail-equipped Scorpion in an underwater struggle. It's a wonderfully dynamic Ditko design that captures the visceral, anything-can-happen energy that made his Spider-Man work so enduring.
