Web of Spider-Man #56

In "Skin-Deep," Spider-Man teams up with Rocket Racer to confront prejudice on the Empire State University campus, where tensions flare over identity and belonging. Meanwhile, J. Jonah Jameson uncovers a troubling scheme by Thomas Fireheart to seize control of the Daily Bugle, setting off a chain of events that tests loyalty and integrity. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Alex Saviuk, with inks by Keith Williams and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1989 issue blends social commentary with the web-slinger’s signature edge—its cover by Alex Saviuk captures the intensity of the moment.
