“Gang War, Shmang War! What I Want to Know Is... Who the Heck Is Hammerhead?”

In "Gang War, Shmang War! What I Want to Know Is... Who the Heck Is Hammerhead?", Spider-Man finds himself tangled in a citywide turf war that’s less about territory and more about identity—especially when a mysterious figure named Hammerhead enters the fray. Written by Steve Englehart and drawn with dynamic flair by Frank Brunner and Dave Cockrum, this 1976 Marvel UK issue delivers a sharp, character-driven clash where the web-slinger’s usual tactics are tested by a criminal with a name that’s as strange as his methods. The cover by Dave Hunt and Frank Giacoia captures the moment’s tension with bold, stylized energy.
