Marvel Tales #75

Marvel Tales #75 brings together two adventures in one January 1977 package, with the cover — penciled and inked by John Romita — promising a retelling of Spider-Man's origin alongside a second tale headlined by Aunt May in the grip of the sinister Beetle. The bold circular design frames a swinging Spider-Man at the top, a cluster of key faces from Peter Parker's world in the center, and a dramatic bottom vignette showing Spidey in mid-action alongside the Beetle and a struggling Aunt May. With Stan Lee writing, John Romita on art, and Sal Buscema inking the interior story "On the Wings of Death!", this is a satisfying double-feature from one of Marvel's most celebrated creative teams.
