Une Aventure de l'Araignée #23
In "Plus jamais... l'Araignée !", Peter Parker steps away from his web-slinging duties, trading the mask for a quiet life as a college student after a crisis of conscience. With the discarded suit found and displayed at the Daily Bugle, peace comes at a cost as crime surges and the Kingpin rises in the shadows. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita with inks by Mike Esposito, this 1985 issue captures a pivotal moment of doubt and renewal. The cover, by Jean Frisano, frames the moment with striking simplicity.

Fearing for his aunt's health and tired of being hounded by Jameson, Peter gives up being Spider-Man and concentrates on being a simple college student. A kid finds the discarded Spidey suit in the trash can and brings it to the Daily Bugle where Jonah proudly puts it on display. Pete's personal life starts looking up but crime increases as the Kingpin gathers the mob under his leadership. Feeling guilty about the crime wave, Peter remembers the lessons taught to him by his uncle's death and decides to become Spider-Man once again.
