“Enter: Swarm!”

This November 1979 issue of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man delivers one of the wall-crawler's more unsettling adversaries, as the cover — penciled by Ed Hannigan and inked by Pablo Marcos — shows Spider-Man locked in mid-air combat with Swarm, a villain whose caped form appears to be composed entirely of swarming bees. Enormous, close-up killer bees crowd the foreground while panicked civilians flee below, making the sheer scale of the threat immediately clear. With a story titled "Enter: Swarm!" and a creative team including writer Bill Mantlo and artist Jim Mooney, this is a genuinely memorable chapter in Spidey's late-'70s adventures.
