Wraparound cover.
The Purple Man has an entry in this 1987 issue as a part of the "Book of the Dead". He had previously had another entry in issue #10 (September 1986) as a living character. The Purple Man died in Emperor Doom, published in 1987 - but other characters who died in that period (e.g. Kraven the Hunter) did not have two entries in OHOTMU Vol 2.
