Spider-Woman #20

High above a bustling city street, Spider-Woman fires a venom blast point-blank at Spider-Man in this 1979 Marvel showdown — the cover by Frank Springer and Frank Giacoia captures both wall-crawlers mid-air, trading energy and tension against a canyon of skyscrapers. The bold cover copy promises the long-awaited face-to-face meeting fans had been anticipating, and the dynamic composition delivers on that promise with real urgency. Written by Mark Gruenwald and Grant with interior art by Frank Springer, "Tangled Webs" looks like exactly the kind of hero-versus-hero clash that made Marvel's interconnected universe so much fun in the late seventies.
