“Double Defeat!”

In "Double Defeat!", Spider-Man races to uncover the truth behind Madame Belladonna’s identity, tracking her to fashion queen Desiree Vaughn-Pope—only to find that the real threat lies with her sister, Narda, who’s secretly the villain. With Kingsley in danger and the disgruntled Prowler II poised for revenge, Spider-Man must act fast to stop a deadly trap before it’s too late. Roger Stern’s sharp storytelling and Marie Severin’s dynamic art bring the tension to life, while Frank Miller’s cover pencils and Al Milgrom’s inks deliver a striking final image.
