The Amazing Spider-Man #[nn]
In "The Birth of a Super-Hero!", Peter Parker takes a surprising step back in his superhero journey, rediscovering the origins of his costume with a paperbag mask—before stepping into action against Electro during a live taping of the Midnight Talk Show. Stan Lee’s storytelling, paired with John Romita’s dynamic art and Jim Mooney’s inks, brings a fresh, grounded energy to Spider-Man’s early days, all framed by Bob Larkin’s vivid cover.
