Marvel Tales #287

With Spider-Man mysteriously absent, Silver Sable leaps into action across this striking 1994 cover by Tom Lyle — her white costume gleaming against a vivid purple night sky as she faces down the menacing, pumpkin-headed Jack O'Lantern below. The ghostly outline of a massive Spider-Man looms in the background, making the web-slinger's absence feel all the more conspicuous. Reprinting "Savage is the Sable!" with story and art from Tom DeFalco and Rick Leonardi, this issue of Marvel Tales puts one of Marvel's most capable mercenaries squarely in the spotlight.
