Marvel Tales #226

Todd McFarlane's cover for this 1989 reprint says it all: Spider-Man clings to a dark brick wall, looming over a hapless foe completely ensnared in webbing and dangling upside down — a vivid image that earns the bold tagline "Spidey Fights Back!" Inside, Stan Lee's story "To Smash the Spider!" is brought to life by the art team of Gil Kane, John Romita, and Tony Mortellaro, with lettering by Sam Rosen. It's a solid package for anyone who loves wall-crawling adventure served up in Marvel's signature style.
