Spider-Woman #39

Spider-Woman dominates this striking 1981 Marvel cover, hair streaming behind her as she twists through the air amid a flurry of hurled blades — swords, throwing stars, and spears crossing the bold red background from every direction. Surrounding her in the shadows below are numerous ninja-like silhouetted figures, weapons drawn, making it clear she's outnumbered but far from outmatched. With a story titled "Death-Stroke" and cover art by Steve Leialoha, this issue promises exactly the kind of sharp, kinetic danger the title suggests.
