“Just Blame Spider-Man”

In "Just Blame Spider-Man," the spotlight turns deadly as the Daily Bugle spins a scandal that pins a string of murders on Spider-Man. When a desperate addict named Freak accidentally ingests a dangerous experimental formula, he’s transformed into something monstrous—leaving the city to wonder who’s really to blame. Written by Bob Gale and illustrated with striking detail by Phil Jimenez, with inks by Andy Lanning, colors by Jeromy Cox, and letters by VC's Cory Petit, this 2008 issue delivers a tense, morally charged story where suspicion runs high and the truth is harder to find than ever. The cover, also by Phil Jimenez and Andy Lanning, captures the moment of dread with chilling precision.
