“Night of the Flag!”

Spider-Man finds himself outnumbered on Sal Buscema's kinetic cover, caught between a charging Captain America — shield raised and fist cocked — and the razor-footed Tarantula bearing down from above. The blurb says it all: "The Tarantula's Back — And He's Got Captain America On His Side!", promising that Spidey's usual allies are anything but in "Night of the Flag!" Gerry Conway and Buscema were firing on all cylinders in 1988, and this issue looks like a thrilling reminder of why this era of Marvel storytelling holds up so well.
