Peter Parker: Spider-Man #45 p 12 (A Death in the Family Part Two, SPIDEY & JJJ THROUGHOUT!)

Here was a tough one to find… From the acclaimed Jenkins/Ramos run from "A Death in The Family" Spider-Man confronts Jonah Jameson in a rainstorm as he's implicated for the murder of Gwen Stacy. At this time, Bagley was doing Ultimate, Romita Jr was doing Amazing and Ramos was on Peter Parker. Ramos at this time was breaking new walls with his fresh innovative styling of Spider-Man. In "Chasing Amazing" Top 10 Green Goblin Storylines, this issue and story arc is ranked #4, which says the following about the events leading up to and directly discussing the importance of this magnificent page... "And that's when this story kicks into high gear and really ratchets up the emotional torment. Peter Parker #45 opens with a video Osborn released to the news media about the night Gwen Stacy died. During his narration, Norman talks about how he kidnapped Gwen due to a "business dispute" with Spider-Man, and that she was knocked off the Brooklyn Bridge accidentally during the confrontation. Goblin claims he tried to course correct on her glider, but Spider-Man instead makes the stupid mistake of using his webbing and snapping her neck. The infamous neck "snap" is one of the great points of debate for Spider-Man fans. Was Gwen already dead when she was thrown off the bridge, or did Spider-Man actually provide the fatal blow to his beloved, innocent girlfriend when he used his webbing? Jenkins's script manages to violently grab this debate by the throat and make both Peter and readers realize their worst fears about it. Not only is Norman traumatizing Peter by making him relive this horrible moment, but he is forcing him to accept his role in Gwen's death. Sure, Peter could just dismiss Norman as a madman trying to make trouble, but because of that iconic "snap" we all know that beneath his insanity, Osborn has hit upon some semblance of truth with this video."
