The Spectacular Spider-Man #135

Part 2 of the three-part Sin-Eater saga arrives with a cover that crackles with electricity — Electro, triumphant in his green-and-yellow costume, hurls a massive lightning bolt that sends Spider-Man (in his sleek black suit) reeling backward, with the villain's gleeful shout of "I Did It!" leaving little doubt about who has the upper hand. Sal Buscema's cover art captures the raw kinetic energy of the confrontation beautifully, and the corner inset of a man in civilian clothes backed by the black symbiote design hints at further intrigue within. Writer Peter David and artist Sal Buscema make this 1988 chapter of "Sin-Thesis" a compelling mid-saga entry for anyone who loves their Spider-Man stories with genuine stakes and a classic villain firing on all cylinders.
