The cover by John Romita says it all: a massive, grimacing figure dominates the foreground while Spider-Man is caught in a chaotic tangle with both the Green Goblin — pumpkin bomb raised high — and a second goblin-like figure bearing down on him. "Goblins at the Gate, Part 1" kicks off what promises to be a multi-chapter goblin showdown, with Roger Stern and Glenn Greenberg at the helm and art from Luke Ross inside. Three-way chaos has rarely looked this kinetic on a Spectacular Spider-Man cover.
