Marvel Tales #280

In "The Hero and the Holocaust!", Spider-Man faces off against Firelord in a high-stakes rematch that pushes him to his limits, as the cosmic Herald of Galactus proves a formidable foe. With the Avengers arriving just as the battle reaches its peak, their intervention comes too late to change the outcome. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Bob McLeod and colors by Bob Sharen, the issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash. The cover by Ron Lim and Sam de la Rosa captures the intensity of the moment.
