The Amazing Spider-Man #270

In "The Hero and the Holocaust!", Spider-Man faces off against Firelord in a high-stakes rematch that pushes him to his limits, as the cosmic Herald of Galactus proves a formidable foe. With the Avengers arriving just as the battle reaches its peak, their presence adds urgency—but not enough to change the outcome in time. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Bob McLeod and colors by Bob Sharen, the issue’s dynamic art and tense pacing are matched by Joe Rosen’s sharp lettering and Joe Rubinstein’s striking cover.
