Publisher’s description

A new criminal dressed as a vulture is terrorizing New York City. J. Jonah Jameson wants pictures for an article in NOW magazine. Peter decides that if he can take pictures of the Vultures, he could sell them to JJJ to help out his Aunt May. Peter's teacher recommends him as a science assistant to Professor Cobwell. While on an errand for the Professor, his spider-sense detects a weird trace of radiation at the shop and from the radio he has just picked up.
