“The Terrible Threat of the Living Brain!”

In The Amazing Spider-Man #8 (1964), Peter Parker faces a bizarre new threat when a stolen school computer awakens as the sentient, rampaging "Living Brain," forcing Spider-Man to confront a machine with a mind of its own. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with sharp, surreal art by Steve Ditko—both on pencils and inks—this early classic blends sci-fi dread with the series’ signature teenage angst. The cover by Ditko captures the eerie, otherworldly menace of the Living Brain in stark, unforgettable detail.
