The Spectacular Spider-Man #174

In "Dedication (or, 'Jonah Goes to Pieces')", Dr. Octopus crashes the grand opening of the new Daily Bugle building, obliterating Jonah's towering statue and turning the press event into a hostage crisis. With Mary Jane in danger and the entire structure at risk, Spider-Man must stop Doc Ock before he demands $20 million from Jonah—or levels the building. Written by Gerry Conway, David Michelinie, and Terry Kavanagh, with art by Sal Buscema and colors by Joe Rosas, this 1991 issue delivers high-stakes tension and a showdown that puts the Daily Bugle’s future—and Jonah’s pride—in the balance. The cover, by Sal Buscema, captures the chaos in bold, dynamic detail.
