- The Night of the Prowler! · 20 pages
Peter tries to see Gwen only to find that she is (apparently) on a date with Flash. Hobie approaches his boss with ideas for new safety devices for his job as window-washer, only to be rebuffed. He implements them in private, adds a cloak and a mask, and thus creates The Prowler. Hobie plans to rob a newspaper as the Prowler then return the money as Hobie, making himself a hero. Naturally Peter (as Peter) discovers the Prowler in the act and J. Jonah discovers Peter in front of an empty safe.
Publisher’s description
The Prowler is born! But why is he sneaking into the Daily Bugle? Plus, is Peter's jealousy of Gwen and Flash warranted?
