Stories

War of the Reptile-Men! · 18 pages
Marla unveils her new Spider-Slayer robot to Jonah. Spider-Man spends Christmas battling Stegron who uses a Retro-Generation Ray to restore the dinosaur skeletons he reanimated in the previous issue with flesh bringing them back to full vitality. While Spider-man battles the dinosaurs (a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brontosaurus, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus) in Manhattan during a snow storm, Curt Connors reverses the process reducing the dinosaurs to skeletons. Spider-Man rescues Billy Connors as Stegron flees. Stegron falls through the ice of a frozen river and disappears.
