In "He Who Laughs Last...!", Spider-Man faces a trio of escalating threats: a grateful (or not) Jonah Jameson, Aunt May’s sudden health scare during a protest for the elderly, and a terrifying return from the shadows—Flash Thompson’s apartment under siege by the Green Goblin. Written by Len Wein and drawn with dynamic precision by Ross Andru, Jim Mooney, and Tony DeZuniga, with inks by Mooney and DeZuniga and lettering by Joe Rosen, this 1977 classic captures Spidey at his most vulnerable. The cover by Ross Andru and Frank Giacoia perfectly frames the tension, a 35-cent snapshot of chaos in the heart of Manhattan.
