Marvel Tales #259

In "Secrets!", Peter Parker attends a party at Harry Osborn’s mansion, only to find Harry mysteriously fleeing after a delivery arrives. When Peter follows him, he uncovers a shocking conspiracy: Harry is being blackmailed by the Hobgoblin, who’s using a network of powerful figures—including J. Jonah Jameson—to extort money from New York’s elite. As Spider-Man confronts the Hobgoblin at the meeting, he’s overwhelmed by a new, devastating goblin gas that strips him of his spider sense, leaving him vulnerable. The Kingpin’s sudden intervention hints at deeper layers beneath the chaos. Roger Stern’s gripping script and John Romita Jr.’s dynamic art bring the tension to life, with George Pérez’s cover capturing the moment of confrontation.
