A notable late Silver Age Spider-Man issue, The Amazing Spider-Man #61 (June 1968) features the first cover appearance of Gwen Stacy along with a major storyline involving Kingpin.

Written by Stan Lee with artwork by John Romita Sr., Don Heck, and Mike Esposito, this issue continues the Kingpin storyline that helped define the crime-driven tone of Spider-Man comics during the late 1960s.

The bright yellow cover featuring Spider-Man swinging above a dramatic explosion has become one of the memorable visual designs from the Romita era.
