Spider-Woman #28

Spider-Woman #28 brings together two of Marvel's most compelling heroes in a July 1980 issue that makes its ambitions clear right from the cover. Bill Sienkiewicz and Joe Rubinstein's artwork dominates the image with a massive, white-haired figure looming in the background, while Spider-Woman in her red-and-yellow costume clashes dynamically with a dark-costumed figure in the foreground — and a cameo inset of the Amazing Spider-Man confirms he's along for the ride. With Michael Fleisher scripting and Steve Leialoha on interior art, "That Scotty Should Not Die!" promises the kind of tension and heart that made this solo series a genuine standout of its era.
