The Spectacular Spider-Man #129

Spider-Man in his striking black costume crashes through a plate-glass window high above the Manhattan skyline, locked in a fierce mid-air struggle with a bare-chested, powerfully built opponent — the Foreigner — as shards of glass explode around them both. Al Milgrom's dynamic cover composition captures the raw intensity of what the banner promises: a "Final Showdown" between these two, with Peter Parker also glimpsed in the corner inset, hinting at the civilian stakes beneath the mask. "Foreign Affairs," written by Peter David with art by Alan Kupperberg, delivers the kind of high-stakes 1987 Marvel action that made this series a consistently rewarding companion to the main Spider-Man titles.
