Spider-Man Unlimited #17

Spider-Man dives into the fray against a hulking, mechanical Robot Master on this August 1997 cover, webs blazing as flames erupt in the background — a nicely kinetic image from artist Joe Bennett and inker Joe Pimentel. The story, written by Glenn Greenberg and titled "I, Robot Master!", promises a villain-driven showdown with plenty of mechanical menace. Rounding out the package, this issue also includes a guide to the Marvel Universe, making it a solid read for both longtime fans and newcomers.
