The Spectacular Spider-Man #104

From the rooftops of New York, a heavily armed, helmeted gunman looms menacingly over Spider-Man's outstretched hand, aiming a weapon point-blank at the reader while declaring he has Rocket Racer "dead in his sights" — a genuinely unsettling cover composition by penciler Tom Morgan and inker Brett Breeding that puts you right in the crosshairs. "The Last Race" promises high-stakes danger for both Spider-Man and Rocket Racer, with the villain's chilling boast — "Nothing can stop me now!!" — setting a tense, urgent tone. Bill Mantlo's writing paired with Vince Giarrano's interior art makes this July 1985 issue a compelling pick for fans of street-level Spidey action.
