“The Hobgoblin Revealed!”

In "The Hobgoblin Revealed!", Peter Parker grapples with the aftermath of Ned Leeds' death as his funeral draws mourners and secrets alike. With the truth about Leeds slowly unraveling, Peter finds himself caught between a fractured mind and a new threat—this time, one who wears the mask of a villain long thought dead. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg with Tom Morgan, the issue's dynamic art and tense storytelling build toward a pivotal confrontation, all under Tom Morgan’s striking cover.
