“Confrontation”

In "Confrontation," J. Jonah Jameson confronts Peter Parker with damning photos that seem to prove Spider-Man is disposing of a Peter Parker clone—only to accept Peter's explanation without further argument. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Ross Andru with inks by Mike Esposito, this 1977 issue delivers a tense, character-driven moment that hinges on trust and truth. The cover by John Romita and Frank Giacoia captures the intensity of the showdown.
