Spider-Man: All It Takes To Empty The City

Is A Hot Sunday Afternoon.

Think I'll Find A Shady Spot Mys--

[Woman Screams]

Later, That Is.

[Screams]

[Growling]

Betty Brant! What?

Ohh...Ohh...
Spider-Man.

Look!

[Growls]

Nothing!

If My Spider-Sense Says There's Something,

No Matter What
My Eyes Say...

Get Out Of The Way,
Betty.

It's Got To Be Coming From Some--

Oof! Unhh!

It--It Was Real.

Wasn't It?

I Don't Know About The Rest Of It,

But That Paw Was.

Betty: This Big Black Thing Was Snarling,

Clawing Like A Tiger.

Just As It Was About To Pounce On Me,

Spider-Man Came
Swinging Down

To My Rescue.

Spider-Man
Schmider-Man!

Anybody Can Save You

From Something That Didn't Exist.

But Mr. Jameson, There Really Was--

Jameson: Was Nothing!

Tiger Shadows!

Now I've Heard
Everything!

[Ring]
Jameson Here.

There's What?!

Shadows!

Ridiculous!

It Must Be
The Heat.

[Ring]
Jameson Here.

Uh, Just Calm Down!

You Say There's A Bear On Wall Street.

The Shadow Of A Bear?
[Ring]

Nonsense!
I Never Heard Such--

A Giant Centipede On Fifth Avenue!

A Dragon In
The Art Gallery!

Wait A Minute,
Wait A Minute!

Parker!

I'm On My Way,
Mr. Jameson.

Jameson: Now Start Over.

One At A Time!

Somebody's Casting These Shadows For A Reason.

[Evil Chuckle]

Wouldn't You Like To Know, Spider-Man.

Since You're
So Curious,

I'll Send You A Sample Of My Power.

With My Shadow-Scope
Glasses,

I Can Create Shadows

That Behave Like The Real Thing,

And Send Them
Wherever I Like

To Do My Bidding.

There Goes
My Spidey-Sense.

Just My Tiny Shadow,
But--

Now What?

Not Even A Cloud.

I'm Getting Jumpy.

Ooh--Oof!

What Hit Me?

If This Is
Shadowboxing,

I'll Take Mine
In A Gym.

Well, It Was
Worth A Try.

[Evil Chuckle]

Let This Be A Lesson, Spider-Man.

And Now, To Get On

With The Business
At Hand.

There's A Likely-Looking Jewelry Store.

I Think I'll Send A Real Charmer

To Bring Back
Its Wares.

I--I Must Be--

I Must Be
Seeing Things!

Oh, No! No! Help!

Help! Police!
Robbery!

Help!

How Easy It Is.

[Evil Chuckle]

I Tell You, Officers,

There Was A Real
Cobra Shadow--

That Is, It Was
A Real Cobra--

I-I Mean, Its Shadow!

Well, At Least I Know What The Shadows Are For.

Now To Find Out Who's Behind Them?

Spider-Man.

My Shadows
Will Find Him

And This Time...

Shivering Shadows!

There's A Whopper!

A Giant Termite!

There Must Be
A Way To--

Spider-Man: Oh, Great, A Real Shadow This Time

Heh Heh, A Little More
Of This

And I Won't Have Any Nerves Left.

[Rumbling]

Now What Do I Do?

That Should Take Care Of Spider-Man.

Now To Get On To More Important Things.

Tailed By A Tank.

That's One
For The Books.

I'd Better Do Something And Fast.

Light!

It Might Just Work.

Whew!

Now If I Can Only
Get Rid

Of What's
Causing Them.

Maybe My Old Friend Sergeant O'brien

Can Throw Some Light On This Case.

Peter, My Boy, The Only Thing I Know For Sure,

Is That The Motive
Is Robbery.

Hard To Believe A Shadow Could Commit A Robbery.

What Puzzles Me Is

That It's Always The Shadow Of Something.

But The Something Is Never Seen.

[Ring]

Sergeant O'brien.

What?
Another One?

Jewelry Store On Fifth Avenue,

Next To
The Midovian Hotel.

Be Right There.

This Time It's A, Uh...

Now Where Did That Parker Kid Go?

What'll It Be
This Time,

Lion? Tiger?

Now That's A New One.

Time To Shadow The Shadow, Spidey.

I'm Right With Ya,
You Big Ape.

Lead Me To Your Maker.

Old Spider-Sense Is Jangling Up A Storm.

This Is No Time To Stand On Ceremony.

I'll Find My Own Way In.

Locked.

Where There's A Web, There's A Way.

A Little Web Spray To Deaden The Sound.

And I'll Make
Like A Shadow.

What A Find For Some Lucky Trash Dealer.

h*, What Light Shines Through Yon Crates?

Phantom:
My Shadows

Have Brought Me
A Fortune.

[Evil Chuckle]

People Panic So Easily

At The Sight
Of A Shadow.

It's Like Child's Play.

The Time Has Come For Bigger Things.

I'll Create
A Shadow Army,

Establish A Kingdom
Of Shadows,

All Mine To Command!

Your Inferiority Complex Is Showing, Phantom!

Spider-Man!
How Did You--

I Did A Little Shadowing Of My Own.

Phantom: You'll Never Live To Tell My Secret.

My Shadows
Will See To That.

Heh Heh Heh!

My Shadows Can Also Be Impenetrable!

Wait Till You Feel The Death Grip

Of This One!

Delightful Pets
You Dream Up.

Very Clever.

But The Beams
Of My Glasses

Are More Deadly Than My Shadows.

Once They Hit You,

You Too Shall Become A Shadow.

I Should've Figured.

The Glasses Dim
His Own Vision.

Wherever You Are My Beams Will Find You.

[Crack]

Spider-Man: Yikes!

My Only Chance Is To Get Those Glasses.

Phantom: You're Finished, Spider-Man!

I'll--Unhh!

I'll Get You
For This!

Not Today You Won't.

It's Curtain Time For Your Shadow Play.

You Say All The Jewels Were Recovered

With This Phantom
Character?

Right, And Spider-Man Left His Calling Card.

[O'brien Reads Note]

Jameson: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!

I'm Fed Up About
All This Talk

About Spider-Man!

Anybody Who Believes Shadows Commit Robberies

Should Be Locked Up!

Miss Brant! Miss Brant!

Look! A Giant Spider!

What's So Funny?!

Betty: It's Only A Little Spider,

Mr. Jameson.
