“Requiem!”

In "Requiem!", Spider-Man faces his darkest hour when the city turns against him, branding him a coward after a brutal clash with Sandman. With his reputation in ruins and his personal life collapsing, Peter Parker wrestles with the weight of his dual identity, questioning whether he can keep fighting when no one believes in him anymore. Written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with art and inks by Ditko and letters by Sam Rosen, this gripping story captures the emotional toll of heroism. The cover, by Keith Pollard and Frank Giacoia, reflects the turmoil with a haunting image of Spider-Man in silhouette.
