“Return to Sender”

In "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.
