The Defenders #61

Spider-Man swings across a massive web dominating a city skyline while a red-haired woman in a yellow costume struggles in its strands and Valkyrie and the Hulk loom in the background — all overshadowed by a bold placard promising "Lunatik and the Secret of Spider-Man's Statue!" The cover by Ed Hannigan and Ernie Chan crackles with energy, weaving together the Defenders' eclectic roster and their unexpected wall-crawling guest in one eye-catching composition. With David Anthony Kraft writing and Ed Hannigan on interior art, this 1978 issue looks like a wonderfully offbeat chapter in the team's anything-goes history.
