Marvel Tales Vol 2 #221 – Spider-Man Caught in a Vigilante Showdown!
Marvel Tales Vol 2 #221 (reprinting Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #82), by Bill Mantlo and John Romita Sr., is a gritty tale. The Punisher, unhinged, hunts the Kingpin for his drug empire, shooting minor offenders and fleeing police. Spider-Man fails to enlist Cloak and Dagger, who also want Fisk dead, and rushes to warn the Kingpin. At the hospital, Felicia Hardy plans a Black Cat comeback. At Fisk’s home, the Kingpin, aware of threats, shows Spider-Man his security, only to find his guards knocked out. Cloak and Dagger attack, but Fisk escapes via a secret panel, leaving Spidey to battle them. The Punisher ambushes Fisk, taking Vanessa hostage, enraging the crime lord. Spider-Man, struck by Dagger’s light daggers, falls into Cloak’s dark dimension but escapes via Dagger’s stray light. In the chaos, Fisk escapes, leaving the Punisher unconscious. Cloak and Dagger teleport away, vowing to try again, leaving Spidey with the defeated Punisher.
