The Spectacular Spider-Man #236

In "Free Will," Spider-Man faces his most twisted challenge yet as the menacing Dragon Man, now mind-controlled by Harrow’s sinister device, wreaks havoc. With odds stacked against him and his powers still out of reach, Spidey must rely on an unlikely ally—Will o' the Wisp—while a startling turn in the life of Mr. Parker shakes his world. Written by Todd DeZago and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s pencils and John Stanisci’s inks, this 1996 issue delivers a tense, character-driven showdown with a twist that redefines what it means to be Spider-Man. Cover by Sal Buscema and John Stanisci.
