The Spectacular Spider-Man #193

The "Eye of the Puma" arc reaches its rooftop conclusion here, with Spider-Man locked in a desperate mid-air struggle against the fearsome, fang-baring Puma while a blonde woman dangles perilously in the creature's grip — Sal Buscema's cover crackles with kinetic energy and genuine danger. Published in 1992 as part of Spider-Man's 30th anniversary year, this is a satisfying payoff to a three-part story with J. M. DeMatteis writing and Buscema handling both pencils and inks throughout. If you've been following the arc, this one's essential; if you're jumping in cold, the cover alone makes a compelling argument to start looking for the earlier chapters.
