“The Choice and The Challenge!”

In "The Choice and The Challenge!", Peter Parker faces his toughest test yet as the Hobgoblin escalates his campaign with a terrifying new weapon and a hostage in tow. With Aunt May recovering and Mary Jane urging him to stay, Peter must decide whether to walk away from the mask—or face his greatest threat yet. Written by Tom DeFalco and Stan Lee, with dynamic art by Ron Frenz and Steve Ditko, and a cover by Larry Lieber and Steve Ditko, this 1986 classic captures Spider-Man at a breaking point.
