☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Big Question," Peter Parker swings through a quiet neighborhood rummage sale at a church, hoping to reclaim his old microscope—donated by Aunt May—only to find himself tangled in a tense standoff with a thief trying to steal a sacred artifact. Amid the unexpected drama, Peter takes a moment to ask Mary Jane to marry him, turning a simple errand into a pivotal personal moment. Written by David Michelinie and drawn with heartfelt detail by John Romita Jr., this 1987 issue captures a rare, tender chapter in Spider-Man’s life, with Al Milgrom’s cover perfectly framing the emotional weight of the moment.
