10 Most Iconic Spider-Man Covers - Ranked

For the first of what would be many important milestones for Spidey, Stan Lee wanted to do something a little different to the usual swinging antics. Subtitled "Spider-Man No More", this issue was one of Peter's lowest points since starting his career as the webslinger.

After failing to stop a bank robbery when bystanders tell him to leave, Peter finds out Aunt May has fallen sick and is calling out for her nephew. By the time he gets there, May is feeling better and sleeping, but he gets an earful from Anna Watson.

Peter beats himself up yet again, not only had he failed to help his city, he was constantly leaving his only remaining relative to fend for herself. This is the final straw, and Peter bins his costume and tries to walk away from the new life he has found.

For such an important story, Stan Lee set the dream team of John Romita Sr., Stan Goldberg and Sam Rosen to draw up the front cover. What they put together was perfect.

Spider-Man and Peter Parker walking away from each other, while Spidey looks back wondering what went wrong. It's striking and perfectly portrays how impactful this moment would be.
