“If This Be My Destiny”

This December 1984 reprint issue of Marvel Tales puts Spider-Man front and center in a striking design by Steve Ditko — the wall-crawler's masked face floats at the heart of a white spider-shape whose six radiating panels showcase action-packed vignettes: a fire-breathing menace, a villain at a control panel, Spider-Man ensnared in webbing, a mysterious armored figure, and more. Dedicated warmly "to you, the great new Marvel breed of reader," the cover captures the spirit of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's celebrated collaboration on the story "If This Be My Destiny." A wonderful entry point to some of Marvel's most imaginative early Spider-Man storytelling.
