The Sensational Spider-Man #30

Spider-Man and the Black Cat find themselves in the crosshairs of the deadly Arcade, as boldly announced on this August 1998 cover — and the dynamic between Marvel's most acrobatic hero and that "feral feline" looks anything but friendly. Penciled by Mike Wieringo and inked by Rich Case, the cover delivers a striking image of Spidey lunging forward in full red-and-blue while Black Cat stands tense behind him, both seemingly caught in one of Arcade's signature deadly traps. With Todd DeZago at the writing helm and Javier Saltares on interior art, "Cat & Mouse" promises exactly the kind of pulse-quickening team-up the title promises.
