“Kill Zone”

Spider-Man clings to the Statue of Liberty in the crosshairs of a sniper's scope — it's a striking image from Sal Buscema that makes the stakes of "Kill Zone" unmistakably clear. The bold tagline "Rendezvous with Death!" combined with that stark, monochromatic pink targeting reticle gives this July 1988 issue an immediate sense of tension and danger. Gerry Conway and Buscema were a well-matched team, and this cover alone makes it easy to see why their run on Spectacular Spider-Man kept readers coming back.
