Spidey #78
In "Esclaves des Fils des Etoiles !", the enigmatic Beyonder descends upon Earth, driven by a hunger for experience and knowledge. With writer Jim Shooter and art by Al Milgrom, Steve Leialoha, and Christie Scheele, this 1986 Spidey issue sees Captain America, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the New Mutants converge in Los Angeles after Professor X's urgent call—only to be thrown into chaos when the Beyonder manipulates events from the shadows, turning a scriptwriter into a weapon and summoning forces from beyond. Cover by John Byrne and Terry Austin captures the tension as heroes clash, identities blur, and the line between ally and threat vanishes.
