“To Die A Hero!”

In "To Die A Hero!", Spider-Man faces a desperate showdown in Kingpin’s basement, where the villain’s deadly trap puts both the web-slinger and J. Jonah Jameson in mortal danger. With Flash Thompson back on leave and a traitorous Foswell stepping up at a terrible cost, the stakes are higher than ever. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic art and Mickey Demeo’s inks, this 1967 classic features a cover by John Romita that captures the tension perfectly.
