Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #47
In a delightfully absurd twist, Spider-Man gets an unexpected invite to join the Defenders—complete with promises of an open bar—and beats out Man-Thing for the spot. The team’s first mission? Playing Risk until a cat’s in trouble, leading them on a wild detour to a demon dimension. When they’re too broke to save John Denver from a plane crash, they resort to stealing gear from other teams using a distress call. A chaotic, hilarious, and utterly unpredictable adventure written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, Doug Goldstein, and Bill Jenson.
