Spider-Man 89: The Fall

From Amazing Spider-Man #89: Spider-Man falls.

Doctor Octopus had won, and then he threw away the beaten hero like garbage. This was the last panel of issue #89, a classic cliffhanger that owes much of its power to Gil Kane's superb composition.

Note how the metal arms "frame" Spidey from all sides, including behind his back and in front of his foot; he's visually "trapped", even as he falls. The hero's flailing left arm also points at the people below, establishing height and distance. And the perspective is off-center and tilted, as if the reader were also unbalanced. This page is magnificent. 


Story by Stan Lee, Art by Gil Kane and John Romita Sr.
