“Suddenly... The Smasher!”

In "Suddenly... The Smasher!", Spider-Man faces off against a towering menace who’s tearing down a billboard for political candidate Richard Raleigh—only to find himself caught in a crisis when the rally he attends suddenly turns deadly. With the roof collapsing on the crowd, Peter Parker must think fast, even as his allies appear to be on the other side of the political divide. Written by Stan Lee and Gerry Conway, with dynamic art by John Romita and inks by Jim Mooney and Tony Mortellaro, this 1973 classic blends street-level action with a timely political backdrop, all on a cover by John Romita.
