The Amazing Spider-Man #139

In "Day of the Grizzly!", Peter Parker struggles to make ends meet after moving to a new apartment in Chelsea, prompting him to return to his old job at the Daily Bugle—only to face a sudden threat when a masked wrestler known as the Grizzly launches a brazen attack on the newsroom. With his usual heroics on the line and his civilian life hanging in the balance, Peter must race to don the suit and stop the Grizzly before the situation spirals out of control. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, Frank Giacoia’s inks, and Jan Brunner’s vivid colors, this 1974 issue captures Spider-Man at a tense crossroads. The cover by Gil Kane, with inks by John Romita and Tony Mortellaro, perfectly captures the moment’s urgency.
