“Mayhem By Moonlight!”

In "Mayhem By Moonlight!", Spider-Man races to stop a plutonium heist that ties into the ongoing mystery of John Jameson’s disappearance, all while grappling with the personal strain of Aunt May’s declining health. With tensions rising and the NYPD closing in, Peter Parker faces tough choices that test his resolve as both hero and nephew. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life by John Byrne’s dynamic art and Jim Mooney’s precise inking, this 1979 issue delivers a gripping blend of suspense and emotional weight, with a cover by Byrne and McLeod.
