Marvel Tales #215

Spider-Man finds himself wrapped in heavy chains and dangerously outmatched on this 1988 cover, with a massive yellow-costumed villain looming in the foreground and the gun-wielding Punisher leaping in from the rooftops above. Mike Zeck's cover work captures the chaotic street-level tension beautifully, with additional figures crowding the edges and a cover blurb promising Nightcrawler as a guest star inside. With a story titled "Let the Punisher Fit the Crime!" this issue brings together a genuinely compelling mix of Marvel's wall-crawler and some of his more formidable allies and enemies.
