Marvel Tales #87

This January 1978 reprint showcase puts Spider-Man center stage in a visually arresting John Romita cover — Spidey leaps and swings in a dizzying multi-image blur while a shadowy, imposing figure grapples with a downed opponent near a large vehicle, with a blonde figure caught nearby. The bold cover copy — "Marked for Murder!" and "What Strange Secret Threatens Them All?" — promises that Spidey, Gwen, and Flash are all caught up in something genuinely dangerous in the reprinted story "Vengeance from Vietnam!" The dynamic, kinetic energy of Romita's artwork makes this an appealing entry point into a slice of Marvel's Silver Age storytelling.
