Arguably the definitive issue of the original alien suit storyline (pre-Venom) was The Amazing Spider-Man #258. Not only that, but its cover is also one of the single most memorable.
The imagery of an exasperated Peter Parker falling into a black void while sentient versions of both the black symbiote suite and Spidey's original suit, each with an eerie determination in their eyes, fight for control by wrapping their stretchy limbs around his entire body create a truly brilliant sense of the toll this intrapersonal conflict has taken on Peter's mind.
