Spider-Man and the New Mutants #1

"Homework for Spidey" marks a standout moment in Spider-Man’s solo run, spotlighting a quieter, more personal kind of heroism. Written by Walter Simonson and illustrated by Alex Saviuk, with inks by Keith Williams and colors by Evelyn Stein, the story finds Peter Parker stepping in when he witnesses Billy being mistreated at a playground—leading him to take action that bridges his superhero life with the real-world struggles of a young student. The cover by Alex Saviuk and Keith Williams captures the moment with a grounded, heartfelt intensity.
