Web of Spider-Man #4

Web of Spider-Man #4 was published in July 1985 as part of the third monthly Spider-Man title launched by Marvel Comics. Designed to expand the web-slinger's presence on newsstands, the series focused on stories that allowed for a slightly more grounded or experimental tone compared to the flagship Amazing Spider-Man title. This issue features the work of writer Danny Fingeroth and artist Sal Buscema, a creative team whose collaboration defined much of the character's mid-eighties output.

The story within this issue captures the thematic tension of Peter Parker's life, balancing mundane personal struggles with high-stakes heroics. Sal Buscema’s distinct, kinetic illustrative style was well-received by fans of the era for its clarity and expressive character work. The issue remains a notable entry in the series, reflecting the editorial direction of the time which sought to deepen the supporting cast's arcs while maintaining the classic action sequences Spider-Man readers expected.
