Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!

Iceman and Firastar:

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!

It's the Shocker. He's making a break.

Spider-Man put me

in that hole, Bancroft,

mm».

I'll bet that box is full of diamonds

and rubies and emeralds and

And ifs not half as full

as your mouth.

Say, friends, still want to check out

those spiders at the pet shop?

Spiders?

WEE

Spiders.

You check 'em out.

I'm heading for that fire sale.

A fire sale? On spiders?

The Shocker returns

M111 e\ren more vibro shock power.

Spider-Friends.

Go for it!

You give off bad vibes, Shocker.

Spider-Men, we meet again,

sooner than I expected.

I] love reunions.

Not this one, Iceman.

Why not?

It's cool so far.

And we haven't even warmed up.

They don't: call that guy

the Shocker for nothing.

We'll be safer

from that scary Spider-Man in here.

Leaving? Was I't something I said?

EEK-Iii.

My vibro shock power

lets me vibrate out of any trap,

and our next reunion

will be your last.

Spider-Man

Oh, no.

Aunt May.

Here's serne sl:I'eet repairs,

superhero styie.

- Where's the Shocker?

- And our favourite web head?

- Oh, no.

- Aunt May.

I'll have to settle M111 the wall

crawler before I do anything else,

and I know just how

I'm going to do I't.

The doctor said ifs not serious.

But what if he's wrong?

And I caused I't, just like before.

Before?

Havenfi: I mrer told you

how I became Spider-Man and why?

Nb.

I've been thinking about I't a lot

the past few hours.

I was an orphan, you know,

but Uncle Ben and Aunt May

brought me up like their own son.

Don't: worry about I't, Petey.

You'll get the hang of I't.

I was clumsy, but it didn'! really

bother me beck in those happy days.

Lemonade for my twvo favourite boys.

- Great.

- Lemonade.

Bu! later on, being an A-plus science

student didn't seem to matter much

to certain of my classmates,

like Flesh Thompson.

- Hiya, puny Parker.

- Flash, my experiment.

Tee bad you weren't invited

to the dance tonight.

Guess you're not

such a good mixer after all.

So try these.

No, Hash, don't.

Po-or, pathetic Parker.

- See you, Petey.

- Maybe new-tar.

Sally, I was wondering

if you're busy tonight.

For the umpteerrlh time, little man,

you're just not my type.

Not when droamboats

like Flash Thompson are around.

I'm heading for the science exhibit.

Anybody went to come along?

You got your college scholarship.

Spider-Man's career

was just beginning,

but not yet as a crime fighter.

At the beginning, I was just

a plain old simple supelstar.

Emma!

That no camera hicks are involved

in what you're about to see.

So lefs have a big hand

for the amazing Spider-Man.

And now

for my next spectacular stunt.

See my agent, boys. I'm busy.

Then something happened that

Stop. Thief.

You in the costume, grab him.

If he makes the express elevator,

he'll get away.

Made I't.

Lucky that clo-uvn in the costume

didn'l: stop me.

What's with you, mister?

All you had to do was trip him

or hold him for a minute.

Sorry, pal. That's your job.

I'm through being pushed around.

From now on I just look out

for number one, mo.

And that's what I dd.

He's in there somewhere.

We'll just wail: him out.

Sure. Wait till he finds

some way to escape.

Not me. I'm going in.

Yep, he's in here alright.

All I gotta do is wail:

till the mo-on goes behind a cloud.

Then, in the dark,

slip into the river, and I'm off.

- No. No way you're gonna escape.

- What?

Not from me. Not ever.

I must be seeing things.

There's no place on earth

where you can hide from me.

What? It's him. On a spider web?

My fault. All my fault.

lfonly I'd stopped him

when I could have,

Uncle Ben would still be alive.

I learned something important

that night.

[Imam

there must also come

great responsibility.

Oh , Peter.

Once, by not using my spider powers,

I losl: Uncle Ben.

Now, today, by using them,

I might lose Aunt May.

I'm ready to chuck I't all,

give up being Spider-Man.

- Peter?

- No way, buddy boy.

- Yes.

- No.

What about that great lesson

you learned?

- Yes. Wilh great power

- Comes great responsibility.

You mean I'm being tested

all mrer again?

Any way you want to put I't.

Spidey, you already know

what the answer has to be.

Go for I't.

I'll be fine, but that Spider-Man

gave me a real fright.

Don't: worry. I'll do my best to see

you're neurer frightened again.

The Shocker!

You called that one right, Peter.

It's the vibro villain in person.

Flipped

- He's flying to wreck the whole city.

- Trying?

People of New York, youfire just had

a taste of my vibro shock powers.

They can do much worse.

Unless Spider-Man

surrenders himself to me,

I'll create an earthquake

that will turn this town

into Disaster City, USA.

L'f we hedn'l: helped you

make the fight decision,

he sure would have.

Mam.

Iceman .

Spider-Friends.

Go for it!

Well, whafs I't going to be?

New York or Spider-Man?

'If Ifill I do?

[NEE u flame-thrower

I can vibrate the air

So why all the fuss

about Spidey, Shocko?

I hear here's a special

on Iceman today.

Don't: you clevurns eurer learn?

Now getoffmycase.

“Up.

Or rather, down.

Well, now, whafs this?

I had to ask.

FWD mm.

I think I know

how to beat the Shocker.

Well, den'l: keep I'l: a secret,

web head.

When the Shocker zapped me,

I saw him turn a control on his belt.

That means

His power comes from his costume.

Gosh, you're quick.

Then his go for his costume.

And hope, in his case,

that the clothes make the crook.

That's bad . Bad .

In?

Don't: go

to any exha trouble, Shocker.

We're gonna take your clothes

to the cleanefs.

My one chance to turn up

my vibro shock power

WEEK,

Guys, I guess this is one time

the bad guy gets away, right?

Wrong -

No!

Caught a big one, didn'l: I?

Don't: worry. We den'l: want to damage

any expensive equipment, do we?

And so the Spider-Friends

once again saved the world.

- Or at least New York.

- That's not all that was saved.

Spideg/'s back for good.

LHbanmc-lrmxzagy.

I just saw tho TV nevus,

and do you know what?

Spider-Man captured

that nasty Shocker person,

and helped repair

all the damage he caused.

Maybe I was wrong about Spider-Man.

Maybe he isn't so bad after all.

Well, Peter. What brought that on?

Let's just pretend I't was

from Spider-Man saying hanks.
