Spider-Man Magazine #17
In "Tinkerer, Tailor, Soldier, Spider!", Spider-Man takes on a most unusual foe when the Tinkerer unleashes a swarm of talking teddy bears programmed to steal purses. Written by Scott Proudfit and illustrated by Erik Doescher, with inks by Mike DeCarlo, letters by Steve Haynie, and colors by Wayne A. Murray, this 1996 issue delivers a delightfully offbeat showdown as Spider-Man infiltrates the Tinkerer’s hideout to stop the toy-powered theft spree. The cover, by Bob Larkin, captures the chaotic charm of the madness within.
