It's hard to believe 16 years have passed since the terrible terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001. There have been many moving tributes since the horrific tragedy, but one that stands out for us in particular is this Spider-Man comic from 2006. Released by Marvel to honor and memorialize fallen heroes, the comic really hits us in the feels.
