Marvel Tales #96

Spider-Man leaps into action atop a moving vehicle on the cover of this 1978 Marvel Tales reprint, diving toward an armed gunman who threatens both a crowd of campaign supporters and a political candidate whose looming face watches over the chaos. "Youth for Raleigh" signs wave in the background as the villain snarls his deadly intentions in a speech bubble, setting up a tense political thriller with the wall-crawler at its center. John Romita's pencils and Jim Mooney's inks deliver a kinetic, crowd-filled scene that makes "The Deadly Designs of the Disruptor!" feel every bit as urgent as the cover promises.
