The Spectacular Spider-Man #53
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Terrible Tinkerer is back — and as the cover tagline promises, he's brought "big help" along for the ride. John Romita Jr. and Al Milgrom's cover shows Spider-Man caught in the crushing bear hug of a massive brute, while the Tinkerer himself gestures menacingly nearby, surrounded by an army of robots and remote-controlled toys surging across a dusty battlefield. It's a wonderfully chaotic 1981 Marvel cover that sets up Bill Mantlo's story "Toys of the Terrible Tinkerer" with real flair — perfect for anyone who loves Spidey in over his head against some genuinely inventive villainy.
