The Amazing Spider-Man #7

In "The Return of the Vulture," Adrian Toomes escapes prison and resumes his criminal rampage, forcing Spider-Man to take to the skies over New York in a high-stakes aerial showdown. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Steve Ditko—both pencils and inks—this classic 1963 issue captures the web-slinger at his most daring, with Stan Goldberg’s colors and Art Simek’s lettering completing the iconic look. The cover by Steve Ditko perfectly frames the tension of the flying clash.
