“Skin Deep Part Three”

In "Skin Deep Part Three," Peter Parker faces a desperate dilemma as Charlie, trapped beneath a strange vibranium skin suit, begs for help. When Spider-Man arrives instead of Peter and clashes with Charlie, the misunderstanding sends Charlie spiraling toward Aunt May’s house with a dangerous grudge. Written by J. Michael Straczynski and brought to life by Mike Deodato Jr. and Mark Brooks, with dynamic inks by Joe Pimentel and Jaime Mendoza, and vibrant colors by Matt Milla and Brian Reber, this 2005 issue builds tension with a personal stakes that’s as real as it is urgent—cover by Gary Frank.
