Marvel Tales #193

In "Some Say Spidey Will Die by Fire... ...Some Say by Ice!", Peter Parker swings into the Baxter Building with a surprise audition for the Fantastic Four—only to bolt when he learns the gig comes with no salary. A 1986 classic from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, with inks by Steve Ditko and lettering by Ray Holloway, this issue captures Spidey’s trademark humor and self-awareness. The cover by Ron Frenz and John Romita, inked by Joe Rubinstein and John Romita, shows the web-slinger mid-swing, caught between two dramatic fates.
