“The Secret of the Schemer!”

In "The Secret of the Schemer!", Peter Parker juggles two identities as he tries to protect both Captain Stacy and Gwen Stacy from the truth about Spider-Man. When Spider-Man goes after the Schemer, he’s drawn into a trap set by the Kingpin—only to discover the Schemer is Richard Fisk, the crime lord’s long-lost son. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita and John Buscema, with inks by Jim Mooney and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1970 issue features a cover by John Romita, whose dynamic pencils and inks capture the tension of a secret finally coming to light.
