Untold Tales of Spider-Man: Strange Encounters

In this 1998 Marvel one-shot, Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern craft a standalone Spider-Man story that pairs the web-slinger with an unusual cast, brought to life by Neil Vokes’ detailed art. The issue is a self-contained adventure, offering a quick, satisfying glimpse into Spidey’s world without tying into larger events. It stands as a brief but memorable detour from the main Untold Tales series, showcasing the talents of two celebrated Spider-Man writers.
