Overview

“The Tarantula is a very Deadly Beast!”

Writer: Gerry Conway
Artists: Ross Andru

The Tarantula escapes from jail with the aid of The Jackal and proceeds to attack Spider-Man in the street.

The Tarantula leads Spidey onto a bus driven by a driver who appears not to realize what is going on. The passengers all flee the bus as a Gwen Stacy clone hops on. The bus driver reveals himself to be The Jackal.

They reach the Brooklyn bridge and The Jackal and Gwen get out of the bus. Spider-Man turns his back on the Tarantula to stop The Jackal and is stabbed with the Tarantula's deadly poison tipped boot.

When Spider-Man regains consciousness he is chained on top of the bridge. He is pushed off and that is where our story concludes.

Rating: 8/10

Plenty of action in this one.
