Spider-Woman #4

Spider-Woman hurls herself into brutal close-quarters combat on this February 1994 cover, her white-and-black costume slashed and strained as she drives her claws into a massive, shadowy black-furred opponent — with a looming second threat visible in the background. Cover pencils by Steve Ellis and inks by Fred Fredericks give the scene a raw, kinetic energy that suits the cover's own declaration: this is the "shocking conclusion" to Spider-Woman's spy showdown finale with Deathweb. "Tangled Web" promises a high-stakes finish, and the cover's sense of barely-controlled chaos makes it easy to believe every word of that claim.
