Spider-Man #54

Part two of the "Web of Life" arc puts the Scarlet Spider front and center — literally — as the cover by Tom Lyle, Tom Grummett, and inkers Lyle and Al Milgrom thrusts him into a fierce mid-air clash while the looming figure of Kaine bears down from above, his presence announced by the bold banner "In the Shadow of Kaine!" This giant-sized flip book also promises the Grim Hunter, making for a cover packed with menace from multiple directions. With interior art by Tom Lyle and a script from Howard Mackie, this 1995 issue delivers a strong mid-story escalation across its oversized format.
