Spidey Friday Night Fights: Two-Fisted Justice Safari!

“Witness a species become even more endangered…”
We here at the Spidey FNF Network are thrilled with the positive response you Crawl Spacers & Spider-Fans have shown us, and we want you all to know that we’re committed to providing you the best of the best in Spidey fight coverage.
One thing I keep hearing is that you want to see specific hallmark fights like Spidey vs. the X-Men in Secret Wars #3, the Firelord fight or Amazing Spider-Man Annual #3, which has the Webhead fighting the Avengers *and* the Hulk. Rest assured, Crawl Spacers, all those awesome fights are coming in the not-too-distant future. But what have we got this week, you ask?
Ahh, 1992. Norman Osborn was still dead – and so was Bucky. Batman Returns was hitting the big screen. Marvel’s top artists left and formed their own company to prove why they were artists and not writers.
Even better? The Clone Saga hadn’t started yet, meaning there was no Spider-Clone running around in a ridiculous hoodie. So that’s definitely a plus.
Back then the one Spider-Man title that was consistently good was The Spectacular Spider-Man. And that’s the title where we find this week’s match, courtesy of J.M. DeMatteis and Sal Buscema, with Spidey and the Rhino in a story called ‘The Horns of a Dilemma!’ from issue #190 in July of ’92.
So kick back with us, relax and watch a truly one-sided battle between Spidey and one of his longtime foes. And when I say one-sided I most definitely do mean one-sided. Hell hath no fury like Peter Parker on a bad day!
