Spider-Woman #6

The cover of Spider-Woman #6 (1999) sets a vivid, high-stakes tone, with Mattie Franklin's silhouetted figure — her web-like wings spread wide — standing defiantly against a towering, skeletal ancient evil bathed in eerie green energy. Bart Sears's cover art captures the dramatic contrast beautifully, the cover copy spelling it out plainly: "An Ancient Evil Threatens Earth… and only Mattie stands in his way!" It's a striking visual promise of a young hero pushing herself to her limits against something far older and far more terrifying than anything she's faced before.
