The Adventures of Spider-Man #8

In "Kingpin's Return," Spider-Man faces his most dangerous foe yet when the Kingpin captures Mary Jane and traps the web-slinger in a deadly game of cat and mouse. With the odds stacked against him, Spider-Man must uncover a shocking vulnerability—his enemy’s unsuspecting wife, Vanessa—whose ignorance of her husband’s true identity may be the key to stopping him. Written by Nel Yomtov and brought to life by Alex Saviuk’s dynamic art, Rob Stull’s inks, Kevin Tinsley’s colors, and Steve Dutro’s lettering, this 1996 issue delivers high-stakes tension and emotional stakes in a story that redefines the limits of Spider-Man’s ingenuity. The cover, by Alex Saviuk and Rob Stull, captures the moment of confrontation with chilling precision.
