“The Long Goodbye!”

In "The Long Goodbye!", Peter Parker faces a heart-wrenching dilemma as Doctor Octopus closes in on the Black Cat, who's still recovering in the hospital. With the stakes higher than ever, Peter must weigh the cost of stepping into the fray—knowing that this fight might not end in victory, but in something far more permanent. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by Al Milgrom’s dynamic art, this 1983 issue captures the emotional weight of heroism at its most personal, with cover by Al Milgrom.
