“They Call the Doctor...Octopus!”

A brilliantly designed cover by John Romita pulls the eye in two directions at once: a massive close-up of Spider-Man's masked face dominates the foreground, while a torn newspaper clipping — headlined as a Daily Bugle exclusive — depicts Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms ensnaring our hero in a black-and-white photo credited to one Peter Parker. The tagline "Doctor Octopus is Back!" says it all, promising a renewed clash with one of Spider-Man's most formidable foes in a story aptly titled "They Call the Doctor...Octopus!" This October 1972 issue pairs Romita's sharp visual storytelling with a script by Gerry Conway, making it a satisfying pick for any fan of the Wall-Crawler's Silver Age adventures.
