The Spectacular Spider-Man #218

Part 2 of "Back From The Edge" arrives in November 1994 with a cover by Sal Buscema that pulls no punches — Spider-Man is locked in a fierce mid-air grapple with a snarling, bestial creature, both figures tangled together in a dynamic, almost claustrophobic struggle. A second Spider-Man figure looms in the upper corner amid webbing, adding an intriguing visual tension to the scene. With Tom DeFalco and Todd DeZago on writing duties and Buscema handling both pencils and inks throughout, this issue delivers the kind of kinetic, hard-hitting energy that made Spectacular Spider-Man a fan favorite in the '90s.
