In "Pigs Over Tokyo or Kimono My House," Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham, trades his web-slinging for a cold-sore and a trip to Japan when a mysterious monster named Hog-Zilla rampages through Tokyo. Written by Steve Mellor and illustrated by Tony Salmons, with Joe Albelo handling both the interior inks and the cover, this 1986 adventure sees Spider-Ham face down a giant, snack-obsessed beast—only to defeat it in the most unexpected way. The cover by Joe Albelo captures the chaos in bold, energetic lines, perfectly matching the issue’s zany tone.
