☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA 1973 Marvel UK classic, Spider-Man Comics Weekly #45 delivers a pulse-pounding installment titled "In the Clutches of...the Kingpin!" — a standout story in the early Spider-Man saga. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby with art by Carl Hubbell and inks by Vince Colletta, the issue sees Peter Parker caught in a web of danger as the Kingpin tightens his grip on the city. The cover by John Romita captures the tension perfectly, making this a must-have for collectors of early Spider-Man tales.
In "In the Clutches of...the Kingpin!", Spider-Man returns to the fray, determined to disrupt the Kingpin’s latest scheme—only to be outmaneuvered when the criminal mastermind enlists the dubious Foswell and captures J. Jonah Jameson. As Spider-Man rushes to intervene, he's overcome by a sinister gas, leaving him helpless at the Kingpin’s feet.
In "What Evil is This?", Thor and Loki are sent to the cursed realm of Skornheim to face Odin’s Trial of the Gods, a test that will reveal which son has been deceitful. While Thor battles the land’s deadly traps through strength and resolve, Loki uses his cunning magic to evade them—until the Enchantress and the Executioner turn their attention to Jane Foster, seeking to sway the trial’s outcome. Odin sends Balder to intervene, but the true cost of the test remains hidden in the shadows.
