Spider-Man: Funeral for an Octopus #3

The concluding chapter of this 1995 Marvel miniseries arrives with a cover — penciled by Ron Lim and inked by Al Milgrom — that says everything without a word: Spider-Man stands tall and resolute atop a rooftop, framed by a full moon and a star-filled night sky, while Doctor Octopus's dismembered mechanical arms sprawl lifelessly around him in every direction. The tagline "Rest in Pieces" adds a darkly witty punctuation mark to the image, leaving no doubt that this arc is heading toward a definitive reckoning. With a creative team including writers Tom Brevoort and Mike Kanterovich alongside artists Tod Smith and Sal Buscema, "A Farewell to Arms!" wraps up the miniseries in style.
