In "La contre-Terre doit mourir de la main de Galactus !", Spider-Man finds himself caught between a blossoming romance with Black Cat and a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse when she steals a mysterious canister from Doctor Octopus. With Felicia taken, Spidey must seek help from the unlikely Kingpin to track her down, only to be drawn into a deadly clash between Doc Ock and the Owl over a neutron bomb. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Jim Mooney and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1984 issue features a cover by Jean Frisano that captures the tension perfectly.
