In "A Matter of Love...and Death!", Spider-Man crashes a party at the home of Johnny Storm’s girlfriend, sparking a fiery clash between the Human Torch and the wall-crawler that quickly pulls in the rest of the Fantastic Four. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby’s art and Steve Ditko’s inks, this 1986 Marvel Tales issue captures the chaos of a superhero brawl with a touch of humor and heart. The cover by M. D. Bright and Vince Colletta perfectly captures the moment of escalating tension.
