Spider-Man #67

Part 3 of the "Web of Carnage" arc brings one of Spider-Man's most unsettling threats front and center — the cover by John Romita Jr. and Al Williamson depicts a symbiote-consumed Spider-Man, his red-and-black form crackling with wild tendrils, gripping a terrified young woman by the head high above the Manhattan skyline. The visceral image raises the question posed by the story's own title — "Who Am I?" — as the wall-crawler appears overtaken by something far darker than himself. With Howard Mackie scripting and Romita Jr. at the peak of his kinetic, expressive style, this 1996 chapter is a gripping mid-arc escalation fans of the era will remember well.
