Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider Man (1976) 128

Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider Man (1976) 128 provides an enjoyable reminder that Marvel history is built from individual issues with their own rhythms, risks and small surprises.

Its premise connects Man Without Fear with questions of identity and responsibility. That combination gives the opening a purpose beyond simply announcing another adventure.

There is a practical intelligence to the script associated with Alan Kupperberg, which rarely loses sight of the issue's immediate objective.
