Spider-Man 2099 #12

Spider-Man 2099 squares off against the armored villain Thanatos on this October 1993 cover, with the red-and-gold-clad antagonist charging forward wielding two massive guns while a wisecracking Spidey quips, "Hey! You can't wreck Alchemax — that's my job!" The explosive orange background and dynamic composition by cover artists Rick Leonardi and Al Williamson give the confrontation a real sense of kinetic force. "Death from on High" promises a clash between two very different agendas — and writer Peter David is exactly the person to make it count.
