Marvel Tales #247

Marvel Tales #247 brings Spider-Man swinging front and center alongside a colorful ensemble of allies, with the cover by Marshall Rogers showcasing the web-slinger in dynamic mid-swing above a group that includes Cloak and Dagger, a feral creature, and several figures in striking yellow-and-black costumes. The bold banner promising Spider-Man "and his amazing friends" sets an appropriately team-up-ready tone for this 1991 reprint spotlighting Bill Mantlo and Ron Frenz's "The Hunters and the Hunted, Part One." It's a lively package that captures the spirit of Marvel's street-level heroics at an era when a dollar went a long way.
