The Spectacular Spider-Man #86

In "Bugs!", Spider-Man takes a surprising detour from his usual battles when he brings the Black Cat to his workplace—only to find himself defending J. Jonah Jameson from the Fly, a villain whose antics take a bizarre turn. With Al Milgrom temporarily replaced by humorist Fred Hembeck on art duties and the usual editorial oversight absent, the issue delivers a quirky, high-stakes mix of action and personal tension as Spider-Man contemplates revealing his secret identity to the Cat. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Al Milgrom and Fred Hembeck, with cover art by Hembeck and Milgrom, this 1984 Marvel classic blends humor and suspense in a story that stands out for its unusual creative shift and emotional stakes.
