- Peter Parker, You Are the Spectacular Spider-Man! · 22 pages
Debra Whitman's shrink comes calling on Peter Parker in order to get his help in curing Debra's schizophrenic delusions -- she thinks that Peter Parker is really Spider-Man... The Boomerang is on trial and tries to escape but is captured by Spider-Man. Afterwards, Spider-Man follows three fishy men to the lair of the Owl, a criminal who tries to partner with Dr. Octopus in an attempt to win over the criminal underworld of NYC from Kingpin. Doc Ock turns him down.
