Marvel Tales #231 (Marvel, 1989)

Spidey prepares to stop Thermo as he sucks the life out of Paladin on this cover by superstar artist Todd McFarlane. Supplying covers to the Spider-Man reprint title while building a huge following as the series artist on Amazing Spider-Man, McFarlane was hitting his stride drawing everyone's favorite web-slinger. The issue reprints Marvel Team-Up #108 (1981). A special feature of this cover is the Spidey profile drawn by McFarlane in the UPC box, which was unseen as it was covered by the regular newsstand/direct box print.
