“The Child Within, Part 4 of 6: Guilt”

Part 4 of the "Child Within" saga finds Spider-Man at the center of a psychological storm, as this Sal Buscema cover depicts him lunging forward while ghostly figures — including a looming Green Goblin and the gravestones of Mary and Richard Parker — press in around him. The cover copy puts the stakes plainly: Web-Slinger vs. Green Goblin, with Spider-Man's very sanity as the prize. J. M. DeMatteis and Sal Buscema were clearly crafting something more emotionally raw than your average slugfest in this 1991 chapter.
