The Spectacular Spider-Man #150

A milestone 150th issue of The Spectacular Spider-Man arrives with real dramatic weight — Sal Buscema's cover places a stoic Joe Robertson front and center in a packed courtroom, a stunned crowd looking on as a judge's gavel falls with the verdict "Guilty!" looming above him, while a watchful Spider-Man hovers large in the background. The cover also teases an impressive bundle of subplots: a werewolf loose in Manhattan, a war brewing between the Lobo Brothers and the Kingpin, and a promise of a shocking surprise ending. With Gerry Conway writing and Buscema handling both pencils and inks, this 1989 issue delivers the kind of densely layered Marvel storytelling that made Spectacular such a satisfying monthly read.
