Tragedy strikes Peter Parker as the tension-torn adventures of comics’ most put-upon super hero, the Amazing Spider-Man, continue!

Stan Lee, John Romita Sr., Gil Kane and Gerry Conway bring you new characters like the Gibbon and the return of iconic adversaries like Doctor Octopus and Kraven the Hunter! It’s enough excitement to give a hero an ulcer — and it does! Spidey also teams up with Doctor Strange against a mystic threat, goes toe-to-toe in a fight against the Incredible Hulk and faces Hammerhead — the only gangster with more steel in his dome than in his gun! But the drama reaches its peak when the Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen Stacy in the story that shocked a generation and cemented the Goblin’s name as the definition of evil. Don’t miss this seminal chapter in Spidey’s history!
