The Spectacular Spider-Man #215

In "The Predator and the Prey, Part One: The Monster Within," Tom DeFalco and Mike Lackey plunge Spider-Man into the dark, claustrophobic depths of the city’s sewers, where he confronts a monstrous Scorpion unlike any he’s faced before. The tension mounts as a mysterious figure—last seen in Web of Spider-Man #114, Amazing Spider-Man #391, and Spider-Man #48—makes another appearance, adding an unsettling layer to the already dangerous mission. Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with his signature inks and Glynis Oliver’s vivid colors, brings the underground nightmare to life, while Clem Robins’ crisp lettering keeps the pace taut. The cover, also by Buscema, captures the raw intensity of the clash.
