Spider-Woman #10

A Hollywood party turns into anything but a glamorous evening on this January 1979 cover, where Spider-Woman crouches in her striking red-and-yellow costume, alert and ready for trouble amid a crowd of startled partygoers. Hovering above the scene is the winged, insect-like figure of Gypsy Moth — the "strange new character" teased by the cover copy — leaving the tantalizing question of friend or foe hanging in the air. Cover art by Carmine Infantino and Bob McLeod gives the scene a dynamic energy that makes this issue of Spider-Woman a satisfying snapshot of late-'70s Marvel at its most imaginative.
