“My Friend, My Foe!”

The cover by Gil Kane and Mike Esposito wastes no time setting up a three-way collision: Spider-Man swings hard through a crumbling urban rooftop while a raging Iceman — tagged "A Champion Gone Mad!" — looms behind him in a blast of ice and frost, and the Avenging Angel tumbles helplessly in the foreground. The bold cover copy, "Cold Rage, Swift Doom!", makes clear that even two heroes together may not be enough to handle whatever has pushed Iceman to the edge. It's a sharp, kinetic 1978 Marvel cover that promises big team-up tension inside "My Friend, My Foe!
