Hobgoblin attempts to assassinate an intoxicated Spider-Man
Publisher’s description
We start with the Hobgoblin (Macendale's version, at least) attacking the Kingpin's office. He demands the arranger tells him why Kingpin has 'blacklisted' him from hitman assignments in the city. The arranger tells him that it is because he stole someone else's identity but that if he could prove himself by taking out someone (such as Spider-Man), Kingpin could change his opinion.
