The Exploits of Spider-Man #4
In "A Bagel With Nova!", the fifth chapter of the "Round Robin: The Sidekick's Revenge" arc, Spider-Man faces off against a newly empowered Otto Octavius, whose experimental arms have gained a dangerous will of their own. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Steve Ditko—both inks and pencils—this 1984 UK reprint captures the early clash of brains and brawn with a touch of classic Marvel flair. The cover by Stan Goldberg adds a playful, retro punch to the proceedings.
