Spider-Man's Tangled Web #10

A young child sits on the floor, bathed in the warm glow of a television screen showing Spider-Man in a dynamic, animated-style pose — it's an quietly affecting image that says everything about what the wall-crawler means to the people of the Marvel Universe. Kaare Andrews, handling every creative role himself for "Ray of Light," brings a personal, intimate touch to this issue of Spider-Man's Tangled Web that feels distinct from the usual superhero fare. The cereal box at the kid's side and the soft, painterly light make this 2002 standalone feel more like a short story than a superhero comic — in the best possible way.
