Spider-Man / Doctor Octopus: Year One #3

Issue three of this 2004 limited series brings a genuinely unsettling mood, with Kaare Andrews's cover presenting a close, almost suffocating view of a bandaged face looming in the foreground while two red-tinted, distorted visages loom above — an atmosphere that feels more psychological horror than superhero adventure. The fragmented, layered composition suggests a mind under siege, fitting perfectly for a series tracing the formative year that shaped one of Spider-Man's most dangerous enemies. Andrews handles both pencils and inks here, and the result is moody and deliberately disquieting — exactly the kind of cover that makes you want to know what's happening inside.
