“...And Only One Shall Survive!”

The cover of this July 1977 Marvel issue says it all: Spider-Man and Morbius clash dramatically atop steel scaffolding against a looming yellow moon, with scattered birds and an industrial skyline below — a showdown the tagline promises will leave only one standing. Paul Gulacy and John Romita's cover art crackles with tension, balancing Morbius's pale, vampiric menace against Spidey's coiled, web-slinging energy. With Archie Goodwin writing and Sal Buscema on interior art, Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #8 wraps up this Morbius arc in genuinely gripping fashion.
