The Spectacular Spider-Man #91

The Blob makes good on his boast — cover by Al Milgrom shows the massive villain clutching Spider-Man (in his sleek black costume) in one meaty fist while Black Cat struggles helplessly in the other, all set against a blazing red background that amplifies the sheer overwhelming power on display. It's a genuinely unsettling image: two heroes simultaneously in the grip of one unstoppable brute, with the Blob's taunting speech bubble leaving little room for optimism. Al Milgrom writes and pencils this June 1984 issue, with Jim Mooney on inks and colors by Glynis Wein, making "If It Wasn't For Bad Luck…" a tight creative package that delivers on its cover's menacing promise.
