The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #11
In "A Taxing Time!", the Vision and the Scarlet Witch face off against a surprisingly persistent Toad, who's still chasing a hopeless romance with Wanda during her final month of pregnancy. With Peter snapping photos for Now magazine and Spider-Man joining the fray, the battle takes a bizarre turn when Toad’s bold advance is met with a sharp hex bolt and a reality check from the Scarlet Witch herself. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Richard Howell, with inks by Frank Springer, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Bill Oakley, this 1986 Marvel classic features a cover by Tom Morgan and Mark McKenna that captures the chaos perfectly.
