Marvel Tales #36

The cover of this 1972 Marvel reprint says it all — Spider-Man lunges forward in a rooftop confrontation while the imposing, yellow-jacketed Kingpin grabs his web-line and delivers a pointed reminder: "It's ALL muscle!" The bold tagline "Crushed by the Kingpin!" sets the tone perfectly for the Stan Lee–written story inside, drawn by John Romita with inks by Mickey Demeo. Cover art by Sal Buscema, John Romita, and Frank Giacoia makes this a sharp-looking package for anyone who loves a classic wall-crawler vs. crime-boss showdown.
