Solicit Synopsis
Spider-Man—Threat or Menace?
Dennis O'Neil and John Romita Jr. make their AMAZING SPIDER-MAN debuts and bring with them the first appearance of Madame Web!
New York City has always been a defining element in Spider-Man's world, and, like many a New Yorker, the city's going to drive him crazy — if it doesn't kill him first. From a New York Marathon assassination plot to Peter Parker's paper-thin apartment walls; from a merged Hydro-Man/Sandman to running into your ex-girlfriend's new beau Biff Rifkin, the City That Never Sleeps just won't give Spidey a break. And the knocks keep coming when Peter Parker is accused of causing a prison break. Also featuring the Aunt May solo “adventure” you demanded and two iconic Dennis O'Neil/Frank Miller Annuals co-starring Doctor Strange and the Punisher!
