The Spectacular Spider-Man, Vol. 1 #199 (Marvel Comics 1993) Direct Edition

The Spectacular Spider-Man, Vol. 1 #199 (Marvel Comics 1993) Direct Edition delivers a 32-page Spider-Man tale in the climactic "Falling!" arc, Part 3 of 3.

Written by J.M. DeMatteis with pencils and inks by Sal Buscema, and a cover by Sal Buscema, this issue pairs Spider-Man with the X-Men in a high-stakes rescue mission that expands the web-slinger's universe.

Good news—the X-Men and Spider-Man defeat Professor Power, but the danger isn’t over. The professor's airborne castle plummets toward a town, and Spider-Man and the Beast use their combined science knowledge to decipher the castle's control system and hit the brakes, saving the town. Later, a tired Peter Parker returns home seeking rest, only to face a disturbing development: Harry Osborn, Crazy Harry and the Green Goblin, is living downstairs instead of being locked away in the Vault. The issue features a cameo by the Green Goblin and signals ongoing trouble for Peter and Mary Jane.

Key details: 32 pages; Direct Edition; guest-starring the X-Men; script by J.M. DeMatteis; art by Sal Buscema; cover by Sal Buscema. A must-have for collectors tracking Spider-Man’s cross-title team-ups and notable Green Goblin appearances from this era.
