“Even a Ghost Can Fear the Night!”

In "Even a Ghost Can Fear the Night!", the Black Fox makes his final heist—only to be forced into an uneasy alliance with the Red Ghost and his Super Apes when the villain demands the robbery of a jewelry store to fund his latest invention, the Cosmicizer. With Spider-Man hot on their trail, the Apes' hideout becomes a ticking time bomb, and the Fox finds himself caught between a desperate escape and an unexpected payoff. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life by Ron Frenz’s dynamic art, with inks by Josef Rubinstein and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1984 classic features a cover by Ron Frenz and Joe Rubinstein that captures the chaos perfectly.

The Black Fox is on his final burglary, the one that will allow him to retire, but unfortunately, he has chosen the residence of the Red Ghost and his Super Apes. The Red Ghost compels the Fox to work with his Apes in carrying out the robbery of a jewelry store to fund his latest invention, the Cosmicizer. Spider-Man intervenes, follows the Apes home and blows up the Ghost's pet project. All but forgotten, the Black Fox merrily makes off with the jewels.
