“I'll Take Manhattan!”

In "I'll Take Manhattan!", Spider-Man faces his most desperate challenge yet when Dr. Octopus unleashes a terrifying biological threat on New York, determined to eliminate the web-slinger by destroying the city itself. With the fate of Manhattan hanging in the balance, Spider-Man makes a shocking tactical choice—letting Doc Ock defeat him in order to stop the catastrophe. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life by Alex Saviuk’s dynamic art, with inks by Vince Colletta and colors by Janet Jackson, this pivotal 1988 issue sees Spider-Man push his limits in a battle that tests not just his strength, but his resolve. The cover, by Alex Saviuk and Jack Abel, captures the city’s peril in bold, dramatic strokes.
