Marvel Tales #210

Spider-Man and the Tarantula clash across an industrial rooftop railing in this April 1988 issue of Marvel Tales, with Mike Zeck's cover capturing the wall-crawler locked in fierce mid-air grappling while a third Spider-Man figure trades blows in the explosive background. The cover promises Gerry Conway and Ross Andru's story "Danger Is a Man Named… Tarantula," a high-energy confrontation between two agile, costume-clad brawlers that looks as kinetic as anything from Marvel's action catalog. As a bonus, the cover also teases an all-new Spider-Ham story, making this a nicely packed package for fans of both the web-slinger's gritty adventures and his more playful side.
