Spider-Man Family #4
In "Tales of the Puppet Master!", Aunt May lies critically ill, and only Peter’s signature can authorize the life-saving surgery—but with the Green Goblin hunting him across the city, Peter must juggle saving his aunt’s life with stopping a full-scale mob takeover. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, Jim Mooney’s inks, and Glynis Wein’s colors, this 2007 issue delivers high-stakes tension with a personal toll. The cover by Leonard Kirk and Kris Justice captures the moment’s urgency, perfectly framing Peter’s impossible choice.
