Yes, the Molten Man is one of the b-level Spider-Man villains, but this comic cover is pretty amazing.
The character of the Molten Man may be a silly one - but he seems to be a tough dude. The writing sorta skips ahead a few beats to find the solution and trap Pete and the enemy. The fighting really isn't the best part of the comic.
The humanity in the book - even with Flash around - is the best. We see Pete's desperation of the character - the real strain on him - and the thankfulness as he gets the scholarship to Empire.
The Ditko art lately is starting to grate on me some of the time. The closed eyes smile and the repetitive faces - especially on the women - are getting tougher to deal with in these books.
