“I Want Spider-Man!”

In "I Want Spider-Man!", a 1981 Marvel classic, the spotlight shifts to two villains with very different motives: the Gibbon, eager to reclaim his moment in the spotlight, and the Beetle, plotting his own revenge. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by Jim Shooter and Jim Mooney, this issue captures Spider-Man caught between two determined foes, each seeking to prove something in the shadow of the web-slinger’s fame. The cover by Bob Wiacek adds a sharp, dynamic flair to the action, making it a standout in the series’ early years.
