“...To Become an Avenger!”

In Marvel Tales #181 (1985), the Avengers put Spider-Man to the test: capture the Hulk to prove he’s ready to join their ranks. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita with inks by Mike Esposito, this classic tale sees the web-slinger face his toughest challenge yet—tracking down the gamma-powered powerhouse. The cover by John Romita and Mike Esposito captures the moment with dynamic energy, a 65-cent comic that’s a must for any fan of the early '80s Marvel era.
