The Spectacular Spider-Man #47
In "A Night on the Prowl!", Spider-Man confronts the chilling mystery of a murder linked to the enigmatic Prowler, only to find himself chasing a false trail when he tracks down Hobie Brown—only to discover Brown’s gear has been stolen. With the real Prowler still at large and a dangerous new enemy, Madame Belladonna, pulling strings from the shadows, Spider-Man is ambushed and left trapped in a gas chamber. Roger Stern’s tight storytelling and Marie Severin’s dynamic art bring this pulse-pounding thriller to life, with Al Milgrom’s cover capturing the tension perfectly.
