The Spider-Man Comic Book Cover That Traumatized Me

I was six years-old when this comic book came out, alright?  I’m not still traumatized by it!  Now I think it’s kind of funny.

Every super hero goes through a time when he/she wants to quit, and it lasts only a couple issues.  If the hero quits, sales of the comic book go down, and the publishers can’t have that.

Still, this cover was kind of unsettling for a six year-old with no cable or internet in 1972.

What was on the cover that could disturb a six year-old?  What would make Spider-Man want to quit in 1972?  What are you waiting for, true believer?  Watch the video!!
