“Chaos Is--The Chameleon!”

In "Chaos Is--The Chameleon!", Spider-Man finally clears his name when D.A. Towers drops all charges, only to face a new threat as the Chameleon stages a public smear campaign, turning the crowd against him in Central Park. With Flash Thompson rallying the people and the city's support turning in his favor, even J. Jonah Jameson is left fuming—but someone in a Westchester lab is already plotting revenge. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life by Keith Pollard’s dynamic art and Mike Esposito’s inks, this 1978 classic features a cover by Keith Pollard and Jim Mooney.
