Stories

The Enemy Within! · 23 pages
Practice against a Spider-Man robot cannot prevent Doctor Octopus' pathological fear of Spider-Man from returning when confronted with the real thing.

Publisher’s description

In our opening two scenes, we have Spidey looking all over NYC for Doc Ock. We then have Ock battling (and defeating) a robot Spidey at his HQ.
