Marvel Tales #35

In "From the Depths of Defeat!", Peter Parker struggles to recover from his latest battle wounds when he sees news footage of the Vulture clashing with Kraven the Hunter—prompting him to push through his pain and step back into the fray. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic art with inks by Mike Esposito and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1972 issue captures Spider-Man’s relentless drive even at his weakest. The cover, by Gil Kane and Vince Colletta, perfectly frames the tension of a hero rising again.
