Marvels #4
In *Marvels* #4, Phil Sheldon—once a champion of the Marvels—finds himself at odds with a public that glorifies heroes while vilifying them, leading him to take a bold stand: clearing Spider-Man’s name in the controversial case of Captain George Stacy’s death. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated with emotional depth by Alex Ross, the issue explores the weight of public perception and the cost of truth in a world that often mistakes fear for justice. The cover, a striking collaboration by John Romita and Alex Ross, captures the gravity of the moment.
