Marvel Tales #285

Spider-Man in his sleek black costume charges through a swirling blizzard, clutching an unconscious civilian as a chain whips dramatically through the icy wind — and the cover copy warns that both the Wendigo and the Kingpin stand between him and survival. Scott Kolins's cover art captures a real sense of urgency, with the storm almost swallowing the figures whole. This 1994 reprint anthology is a solid way to experience Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz's storytelling, framed by a striking image of a hero under serious pressure.
