“The Dream Before (Pursuit, Part One)”

A quietly devastating cover opens "Pursuit, Part One" — Spider-Man kneels in grief between two gravestones bearing the names Richard Parker, Beloved Father, and Mary Parker, Beloved Mother, his masked head bowed in a moment of raw vulnerability. Tom Lyle's cover art strips away the action-hero posture entirely, replacing it with something deeply human and affecting. Howard Mackie's story arc gets off to a compelling start in this 1994 issue, promising a tale with real emotional weight at its core.
