“Creatures Stirring”

In "Creatures Stirring," Peter Parker’s holiday cheer takes a messy turn when he accidentally dunks Katzenberg in the Daily Bugle’s punch bowl, but the real chaos begins when Spider-Man arrives at Aunt May’s family gathering to find Dr. Octopus spying through the window. With the tension rising and May’s kindness the only thing holding the moment together, a tense standoff unfolds—just as the holiday spirit hangs in the balance. Written by Gerry Conway and David Michelinie, with dynamic art by Sal Buscema on both interior and cover, this 1991 Marvel classic blends festive flair with classic Spider-Man suspense.
