The Spectacular Spider-Man #44

Spider-Man stands front and center on this vivid lime-green cover, arms spread wide and spider-sense crackling dramatically from his head, while the fallen forms of several defeated foes are sketched across the background. The bold purple tagline — "Somebody Is Killing Them All!" — sets an ominous, mystery-driven tone that perfectly complements the wall-crawler's alert, almost bewildered stance. Cover art by Al Milgrom and Joe Rubinstein gives the whole image a sharp, energetic confidence that makes this July 1980 issue of Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man hard to pass by on the spinner rack.
