"Spider-Man" kicks off with a high-stakes clash of egos and heroism, as J. Jonah Jameson pushes his son, astronaut John Jameson, as the city’s true savior—only for Spider-Man to step in when John’s rocket goes wrong. Stan Lee’s story, illustrated with sharp precision by Steve Ditko and lettered by Johnny Dee, sets the tone for Peter Parker’s growing troubles as public perception turns against him. Humberto Ramos and Tim Townsend deliver a striking cover that captures the tension between fame, duty, and the price of being a hero.
