SUMMARY:
First released in January 1984, Earth desperately awaits word of the fate re: its missing heroes abducted for Marvel’s original Secret Wars. Continuing from Secret Wars # 12’s wrap-up, Spider-Man and a powerless Dr. Curt Connors/Lizard (soon followed by the Avengers in a brief cameo) finally return home to New York City from the mysterious Battleworld.
Sporting his mysteriously new black-and-white costume, Spider-Man is seemingly unrecognized. Missing his girlfriend Black Cat’s visit by mere moments, Peter Parker busily tries resuming his normal life. Amidst web-swinging action, a revitalized Spider-Man continues to discover the unpredictable ‘magic’ of his new outfit.
Note: This copy is a 2000 reprint included with a Marvel Legends action figure.

Emboldened by the cool new threads, Spider-Man’s world seems fresh again in this blast revisiting the mid-80’s. For Spider-fans, it’s an uncomplicated treat to read! Even better yet, Marvel’s production qualities reprinting this iconic issue are virtually flawless.
