Teia do Aranha #25, published by Editora Abril in October 1991, is a significant issue for Spider-Man fans because it reprints one of the most important milestones of the 1970s Bronze Age: the debut of The Punisher.

This issue is the primary Brazilian "formatinho" reprint of The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (1974).
The Punisher (O Justiceiro): Frank Castle makes his first appearance as a misguided vigilante hired by the Jackal to take down Spider-Man, whom he believes is a common criminal.
The Jackal (O Chacal): Miles Warren also makes his first appearance as the villainous Jackal, setting the stage for the original Clone Saga that would haunt Peter Parker for decades.
This issue is packed with 1970s classics written by Gerry Conway and drawn by Ross Andru:
"As Asas Negras da Morte!" (The Amazing Spider-Man #127): Features a darker, more obsessed Vulture and Mary Jane witnessing a murder.
"O Abutre Voa Alto!" (The Amazing Spider-Man #128): The conclusion of the Vulture fight, where the Spider-Mobile is famously first mentioned.
"Surge o Justiceiro!" (The Amazing Spider-Man #129): The legendary first appearance of Frank Castle.
"Traído!" (The Amazing Spider-Man #130): The first full appearance of the Spider-Mobile in action and the return of Hammerhead.
Because it features the first appearance of The Punisher (reprinted), this issue is considered a "Key Issue" for the Teia do Aranha run. It commands a higher price than the standard issues around it.
Since you enjoy technical details, pay close attention to the Spider-Mobile debut in this issue. It was a controversial marketing move in the US that Gerry Conway turned into a running joke in the comics—Peter Parker himself thinks the car is ridiculous. In the Brazilian formatinho translation, some of the banter between Peter and Johnny Storm (who helps build it) captures that 70s Marvel humor perfectly.
