“Flashback!”

In "Flashback!", Peter Parker visits Uncle Ben’s grave and reflects on his journey as Spider-Man, revisiting pivotal moments that shaped his path. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema with inks by Mike Esposito, this introspective issue explores the personal cost of heroism through a poignant, career-spanning look at Peter’s life. The cover by Gil Kane and John Romita captures the emotional weight of the moment, rendered in inks by Mike Esposito.
