☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Return to Sender," Spider-Man faces a haunting mystery when the return of Gwen Stacy's clone thrusts him into a web of genetic experimentation orchestrated by the High Evolutionary. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Mark Bagley, this 1988 annual reveals the clone’s true origin—unraveling a shocking twist tied to a mysterious virus, not cloning—while the Young Gods find themselves caught in the crossfire. The cover by Sal Buscema captures the tension with a striking, dramatic image.
When a mysterious figure claiming to be Gwen Stacy returns, Spider-Man and the Young Gods find themselves caught in a web of genetic deception orchestrated by the High Evolutionary. With Aunt May’s photograph and Professor Quint’s research offering cryptic clues, the truth behind the clone’s origin begins to unravel — but the real danger may lie not in who she is, but in what she was meant to become.
