Spider-Man #14

Todd McFarlane's linework is in full, atmospheric force on this September 1991 issue, as Spider-Man in his black costume lunges forward through a web-drenched, purple-shadowed underground while a pale, fanged vampire-like figure looms overhead — dripping with vivid pink — and a grimacing, cloaked figure lurks below. "Sub-City, Part 2" promises a tense conclusion to this two-part arc, and the cover alone conveys a genuinely unsettling sense of threat closing in from every direction. McFarlane's intricate, kinetic composition here is a strong reminder of why his run on this title connected so powerfully with readers in 1991.
