“With Great Power...”

In "With Great Power...", Spider-Man confronts a new threat when Jack O' Lantern steals the Hobgoblin's wrecked battle van from the Hudson River, leading to a tense showdown that takes him away from an important dinner with Aunt May. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, with inks by Josef Rubinstein and colors by Christie Scheele, this 1984 issue captures Peter Parker's struggle to balance heroics with family. The cover by Rick Leonardi and Joe Rubinstein perfectly frames the moment’s urgency.
