Peter Parker: Spider-Man #25

The Green Goblin lunges forward on his glider against a blazing sunburst of orange and yellow, his manic grin and clawed hands aimed straight at the reader — it's a striking cover by Mark Buckingham that makes the Goblin feel genuinely menacing. Beneath him, a ghostly figure with glowing red eyes rides the glider's nose, adding an unsettling second presence to the image. As a double-sized issue from 2001 with Paul Jenkins writing and Buckingham on art, Peter Parker: Spider-Man #25 delivers the kind of milestone package that fans of this run won't want to miss.
