The Amazing Spider-Man #138

In "Madness Means... the Mindworm!", Peter Parker struggles to cope after his apartment is destroyed in a clash with the Green Goblin, turning his usual struggles into a full-blown crisis. With Flash Thompson offering shelter—though it’s in Queens, far from Peter’s usual stomping grounds—he’s left searching for a place to stay, only to be thrown into a new kind of danger with the arrival of the enigmatic Mindworm, a mutant whose powers twist emotions in unpredictable ways. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, with Frank Giacoia’s inks and Petra Goldberg’s colors, this issue captures Spider-Man’s vulnerability with sharp realism, while Gil Kane’s cover delivers a striking, memorable image.
