Narrator:
Thousands Of Years

Before The Dawn Of Civilization,

Evil Magicians Fought For Supremacy.

And Kotep Was The Most Aggressive.

The World Was Mine This Morning.

The Battle Was Won.

All That Stands In My Way Is Brazman.

Oh, Kotep!

Your Demon Armies Have Defeated My Hosts,

But In Order
To Win This World,

You Must Defeat
My Magic,

Or Your Own Demons Will Destroy You!

[Fire Crackling]

[expl*si*n]

No! No! It Can't Be!

I Can't Lose!

The Battle Is Mine!

[Thunder]

Hi, Susan. How's About A Beach Date This Saturday?

Oh, Hi, Peter.

Gee, I'm Gonna Be Busy All Weekend

With A Paper
On Archeology.

Ha Ha. Archeology? That Dull Stuff?

The Beach Is
A Lot More Fun

Than Reading About All Those Ancient Mummies And Pyramids.

I Know. But I Gotta. Sorry. Bye.

Wow. I Wonder Why Susan Is Always Busy

When I Ask Her For A Date.

Bet She'd Change Her Mind

If She Knew I'm Really Spider-Man.

Professor: Magic Was Very Important

Among The Ancient Dwellers Upon The Nile.

And Magicians Held
Great Power

In That Land
Of The Mysteries.

The Greatest Of These Was The Mighty Kotep,

The Scarlet Sorcerer,

The Most Dreaded Magician Of The Ancient World.

Golly!

Legend Has It That Kotep Was Destroyed

By The Demons
Who Served Him.

But The Gods, In Punishment For The Sins Of Black Magic,

Chained His Spirit

Into Eternal Bondage To His Mummy

And Would Not Permit
His Spirit

To Enter The Afterworld.

And Legend Says A Magical Formula

Was Buried With Him,

A Formula That Can Raise His Ghost

From The Abyss Of Time.

A Secret By Which A Magician Of Today

Could Invoke The Powers Of Kotep

And Employ Them Today.

Gosh! How Terrible!

That's All
For Today, Class.

Don't Forget To Hand Your Term Papers In

Monday Morning.

Let's Have A Coffee In The Museum Restaurant, Susan.

Ok.

No, Professor, It's No Good Arguing.

You're Dismissed.

Parents Say You've Been Frightening Your Class

With All Those
Creepy Legends

About Kotep The Scarlet Sorcerer

And Stories Of A Method

That Can Bring Him Back To Life.

Utter Nonsense!

I Say It's Not Nonsense, Dean Wilkins!

I Have Deciphered The Inscriptions.

I Am Ready To Try
An Experiment

That Will Go Down
In History!

Think Of It! To Summon The Spirit

Of A Great Sorcerer From The Past

Into The World Of Today.

What A Triumph For Science!

What Drivel, Man! You Need A Psychiatrist.

Ah, So You Think I'm Mad, You Old Fool!

I'll Show You! I'll Show The World!

Get Out Of Here Before I Call The Police!

I'll Go, But You Shall Hear From Me Again!

Hi, Susan. Uhh...

I Was Going To Meet You After Class And Buy You A Coffee,

But I See You've Already--

Thanks For The Kind Thought, Parker,

But I'm Taking Care Of Miss Shaw.

See You Around.

Oh, Bob, Peter,
Don't Quarrel.

Peter, Sit Down And Have A Cup Of Coffee With Us.

Come, O Kotep,
Come, Come.

By !sis, The Mother
Of Stars,

And Osiris The Undying,

By Seth, The Guardian Of The Underworld,

And Thoth, The Lord Of Magicians.

Return, I Command Thee, To The Earth!

[Grunts]

[Thunder]

[Lightning Crackling]

[Thunder And Lightning]

Free At Last!

After 6,000 Years, The Curse Has Ended.

Who Summons My Spirit From The Depths Of Time?

I Do!
I Command Your Help

In Overthrowing
My Enemies!

[Laughs] Fool! What Care I For Such As You?

Be Gone, Groveling Dog!

Before My Destruction,

I Was Gathering
Magical Powers

For The Conquest
Of The World!

I Shall Yet Build An Everlasting Empire

Of Black Magic.

But...Reward Me!

Here Is Your Reward.

[Chanting Incantation]

[Crackling]

[Thunder]

[Laughs Maniacally]

[Crash]

What--What Was
That Noise?

Sounded Like Something Breaking.

Oh! Look!

Just Like
The Statue!

It's--Can It Be?

The Scarlet Sorcerer!

But He's Come To Life!

Get Them! They've Hurt The Professor!

This Looks Like
A Job Too Big

For A Bunch
Of School Kids.

It's Time For Spider-Man To Take Over.

And I'd Better Duck This Crowd And Change.

Peter? You're
Running Away!

Just Going
To Get Help, Susan.

Let Go!
Peter!

You--You Coward!

I'll Never Speak To You Again!

Now To Banish These Fools From My Path.

Hold It, Buster.

[Fire Crackling]

What? A Man In Strange Garments?

With The Powers Of A Spider Being?

Right, Buddy.

I Don't Know Who You Are, But Here I Come.

Look Out For This!

[Laughs]

My Demon sl*ve Has Remarkable Powers, Too,

O Spider-Man.

Behold!

Yeah. Man, I Could See Where Ugly Here

Could Come In Handy.

Let This Be A Warning To You, Man In The Spider Mask.

I Am The Mightiest Magician Ever,

Spawned By The Land Of The Pharaohs,

And None Can Withstand Me!

I'm No Tarzan, And That's No Ape.

But I Learned
A Few Tricks

From All Those
Jungle Movies.

You Puny Fool! Your Dodging Will Not Suffice

To Evade The Clutches Of My Demon sl*ve.

[Electricity Crackling]

Wow. This Guy In Red

Has A Bag Full Of Tricks, All Right.

Web, Do Your Stuff.

Ok, Wizard. Let's See If You've Got

A Trick Up Your Sleeve For This.

[Laughs]

He's--He's Gone.

Newsboy: Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Scarlet Sorcerer Terrorizes Museum Visitors!

Professor Hospitalized!

Police Baffled!

There, There,
Professor.

You'll Be
All Right.

No. No, This Is
All My Fault.

I Was A Fool Hungry For Revenge.

I've Done A Terrible Thing.

I Must Fight Against This Evil Spirit.

Oh, Golly.

[Laughs]

Narrator: What Of Kotep, The Scarlet Sorcerer?

What Has The Mightiest Magician Of All Time Accomplished

Since He Vanished From The Museum?

The Scarlet-Clad Villain Has Withdrawn

Into The Half-World
Of Magic.

Here, In A Fantastic Castle Of Shimmering Crystal,

He Reigns Supreme,

And Here He Lays His Sinister Plans

For The Destruction Of Spider-Man.

Listen!

Long Have I Waited For This Day,

The Day When I, Kotep, Alone Shall Rule The Earth.

Arise, O Demons
From The Past!

Arise, O Brothers
Of Magic!

Arise, For I, Kotep,
Summon You

From The Depths Of Time To Become My Legions Of w*r.

Arise And Follow Me,

For I Alone Hold The Scepter Of Power,

And No One Stands In My Way!

[Crackling]

[Thunder]

You Have Come!

We Have Heard You,
Kotep.

We Have Heard,
And We Came.

But You Are Not Alone In Power.

One Stands In Your Way.

And Before We Follow,

You Must Prove Your Worth Of Leadership

And Destroy Him
Yourself!

[Demons Chattering]

So Be It!

The One Of Whom You Speak Is That Wretched Spider-Man.

I Shall Bring Him Here And Erase Him Once And For All!

I Shall Prepare A Magic Web

In Which I Shall Ensnare The Spider Himself!

[Laughs]

He's Resting Now. You'd Better Go.

Must...Repair... The Damage Done.

Wow. Look At That.

It's A Giant
Spider Web.

Uh-Oh. Something's
Happening.

And I'll Bet That Screwball Sorcerer

In The Red Nightgown's Behind It.

I'd Better Get Out Of Here And Take A Closer Look.

Please Go Now.

Wait. He's Saying Something About--

Tell...Police...

Only One Way...
To Stop Kotep.

The Secret
Of His Power Is...

Yes? Yes, Professor?

We're Listening.

Wow. Whatever It Is, It's Tremendous.

Wonder What Kotep Hopes To Gain By It?

If It Is Kotep Who's Behind That King-Size Flytrap.

Guess I'd Better Take A Closer Look.

Ready, Men. Fire The Flamethrowers

At The Web When I Give The Command.

1, 2...

Captain, I Have
Important New--

Let Me Go!

Get Back, Miss. I Have No Time To Listen Now.

I Don't Know What That Thing Is,

But It Looks
Mighty Dangerous.

Look!

Spider-Man!

The Professor Says To Grab Kotep's Scepter!

He's Powerless
Without It!

Watch Out For That Web!

It Might Be A Trap!

Is That Susan's Voice?

Couldn't Quite Make Out What She Said.

Grab Kotep's What?

Well, Guess It
Doesn't Matter.

He Couldn't Hear Me.

Hmm. Looks Like Spider Silk, All Right.

But--Hey.

Guess This Must Be The First Time In History

A Spider Ever Got Caught In A Spider Web.

Now What?

I'm Falling!

Wow. I Hope Somebody Got The Number Of That Truck.

Ooh. My Head Feels Like

A Giant's Been Using It For A Volleyball.

Heaven Isn't Supposed To Look Like This.

What A Way To Travel.

Once Around The Park, James, Then Home For Tea.

Thanks For The Ride, Fellas.

Sorry I Had To Leave So Quickly.

Wow. Pretty Fancy Place.

I Got A Hunch The Scarlet Sorcerer Lives Here.

Little Garish, Perhaps.

Oh-h*! The Way Out.

[Clang]

[Laughter]

Welcome To My Humble Abode.

Why, It's The Spider Boy Himself.

Ha! I See My Little Web Attracted Your Attention.

I Thought It Would.

Ok, Fella,
You Want To Play?

Here Come
A Couple Of Fists.

I Have Learned
How To Duplicate

The Power Of Your Webs, You See.

Or, Rather, My Little Friends Have.

[Laughs]

[Laughs] I Have Won. I Have Won!

[Laughs]
[Demons Chattering]

Now You Are Fully In My Power, Foolish Mortal.

I Have But To Lift My Scepter To Destroy You.

Scepter. That's The Word

Susan Yelled At Me From The Street.

The Secret Of His Power Lies In His Scepter.

Zowie!

No! Stop Him!

You Fool! All My Power Lay In That Magic Wand!

[Thunder]

[Shatters]

The Spell Is...Broken!

The Spell That Brought Me Back From The Spirit Realm--

Broken When My Magic Scepter Broke!

Now I Must Go Back Into The Depths Of Time.

[Thunder]

Aah!

[Chattering]

Whew! That Was What I Call A Close One.

Bob: So If It
Hadn't Been

For You, Professor,

I Guess Even
Spider-Man

Would've
Been Helpless

To Combat
That Red Phantom

You Conjured Up

From The Mists
Of Time.

Yes, Professor.

You're The Hero
Of The Hour.

Even Dean Wilkins Is Willing To Give You Your Job Back

If You'll Stay Away
From Magic.

Thank You.

Thank You, But It Was All My Fault In The First Place.

There Are Some Things Man Was Not Meant To Meddle With.

I Am Happy That I Was Able

To Help Put Down The Terror I Aroused.

Now I Must Rest.

Oh, Bob, You Were Just Marvelous.

So Brave,

Charging That Awful Red Figure With A Tripod

Like A--Like A Knight From The Past.

How 'Bout
Spider-Man?

He Was Pretty Brave, Too, Wasn't He?

Sure, But He's A Superhero.

He's Supposed To Act Brave.

Not Many Superheroes Around Here, I'm Afraid.

You Might Be
Surprised, Susan.
