Marvel Tales #71

Spider-Man cradles an unconscious figure across a rooftop ledge while an angry crowd surges in the background, with accusatory speech bubbles declaring "Spider-Man did it! It's all HIS fault!" and "He's a MURDERER!" — a cover that frames our hero as both desperate protector and public enemy. Gil Kane's pencils and John Romita's inks give the scene real urgency, capturing the kind of mob-versus-hero tension that made 1970s Marvel storytelling so compelling. This reprint of "And Death Shall Come!" reminds readers why Stan Lee's Spider-Man stories hit so hard — the wall-crawler never gets an easy win.
