Try to stay 'cool' Spidey! Hard to do when lceman is coming for you! Just a really fun 'fight/friend' issue; two SH fight over a misunderstanding and then become friends. This is an issue that was quite the conversation piece - but most of my friends were betting on Spidey to come out the winner!

This is a pretty good issue that pits Spider-Man against Iceman.
I like how there were different layers to the story which met right at the end!

“As if things aren’t tough enough for Aunt May’s favorite nephew, one of the X-Men’s most powerful mutants, the incredible Iceman, decides to battle our hard-pressed web-spinner for the good of the city. But this is one time when you’ll really be surprised because, we must have slipped up with this one-Spidey’s yarn has a happy ending!” – John Romita Snr.
After confronting wannabe D.A. Sam Bullit’s goons last ish Spider-Man returns to Parker’s apartment only to be confronted by Bullit and Gwen Stacy. Spidey grabs Gwen and makes a hasty exit. However Parker luck strikes once again and is spotted by Bobby “Iceman” Drake.
“You’ve had it, you overrated creep! I never thought you’d stoop to pushing females around!” – Iceman
Last issue felt like Romita and Lee were focusing on more mature themes, with Stacy’s funeral, and this time around Sam Bullit is revealed to be a racist and Jameson immediately revokes The Bugle’s endorsement.
Again, the duo of Gil Kane and John Romita Snr. do a great job on the art with this one. It’s a shame that Stan Lee still insists on filling panels with superfluous dialogue; “Look! Up above – at that window – it’s Spider-Man! He’s leaping out with a girl in his arms!” says someone off-panel in the opening page. Two issues with this; 1) Romita and Kane didn’t illustrate any crowd here so the bubble is forced into the corner of the panel and 2) if its so obvious for passers by to notice Spidey leaving then why would Parker continue entering and leaving via this window as seen in previous issue (and many before it). Continuity wise it’s worth noting that the closing panels of ASM #91 seem to show it’s night time (streetlights were illuminated, and shadow shown in entering Parker’s apartment) and opening of ASM #92 appears to be suddenly back to day.

WHEN ICEMAN ATTACKS
January 1971
"You loathsome arrogant savage! You aren't even fit to mention Peter's name. He's more Man than you could ever hope to be" Gwen says it....like she thinks it is...to Spider-Man.
A misunderstanding (?) has X Man IceMan intervene when he sees Spider-Man haul Gwen out of Sam Bullit's office.

An ice-cold misunderstanding leads to a very cool team-up!
Following the heavy emotional weight of Captain Stacy’s death and the public’s growing distrust of Spider-Man, this issue takes a welcome tonal pivot, delivering a classic Marvel misunderstanding brawl—Spidey vs. Iceman! It’s a tried-and-true formula: hero meets hero, fists fly, truth emerges, mutual respect is earned. And it works, thanks to Stan Lee’s lively script and the always-kinetic artwork from Gil Kane and John Romita Sr.
The issue kicks off right after last issue’s chaos, with Sam Bullit trying to manipulate public opinion further against Spider-Man. When Spidey shows up to protect Gwen from Bullit’s smear tactics, he grabs her and leaps out the window—just in time for Bobby Drake (Iceman) to see and misinterpret the whole thing. Cue the snowstorm showdown! Iceman thinks Spidey’s roughing up a girl, and things get frosty real fast.
Though the fight takes center stage, the issue also dips into deeper social themes—particularly in revealing Bullit as a racist, which leads to J. Jonah Jameson pulling back the Daily Bugle’s endorsement. It’s a surprisingly sharp move for Jonah and adds moral dimension to the story.
If you like classic hero showdowns with a moral backbone, ASM #92 delivers.

Los tejemanejes de Bullit se extienden hasta afectar al Hombre de Hielo, que se convence de la culpa de Spiderman y lo ataca por la muerte del capitán. De nuevo, el clásico de enfrentar a dos héroes para que luego se descubra el pastel y se alíen para luchar contra la amenaza común (Bullit en este caso).

Spidey's hijinks to hide his identity sometimes are dubious at best... but one can't help to get annoyed at Iceman when he butts in, even of it makes perfect sense that he did.
Also, I'm glad JJJ supported Robertson because if not...
