Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #79 – Spider-Man’s Prowler Ploy!
Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #79 (December 1969), written by Stan Lee with pencils by John Buscema and inks by Jim Mooney, is a tense Silver Age issue. To protect his secret identity from J. Jonah Jameson’s suspicions, Peter Parker orchestrates a risky stunt, allowing the Prowler to throw him out a window, convincing Jameson he’s not Spider-Man. The Prowler, a conflicted antihero with high-tech gadgets, clashes with Spidey in a battle of wits and agility, while Peter juggles personal pressures. John Buscema’s powerful art, paired with Mooney’s sleek inks, brings the drama and action to life.
