Marvel Tales #283

In "The Choice and the Challenge!", Peter Parker faces his toughest test yet as the Hobgoblin escalates his war with Spider-Man, taking Sha Shan hostage and forcing Peter to confront his past. With Aunt May recovering, Peter considers walking away from the mask—until Mary Jane reminds him he’s still needed, reigniting the web-slinger’s resolve. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Josef Rubinstein and colors by Nel Yomtov, this 1994 issue delivers high stakes and emotional weight, all wrapped in a cover by Ron Lim and Sam DeLaRosa.
