Why it's Hot:
- 1st appearance of Spencer Smythe and the Spider-Slayers
- 1st cameo appearance of Mary Jane Watson, face is obscured by a tree
- ⚠ Misconception: cited by some sources as the 1st appearance of Mary Jane but she does not appear in full until The Amazing Spider-Man #42
Synopsis:
J. Jonah Jameson takes matters into his own hands and commissions a scientist, Spencer Smythe, to create a robot capable of capturing Spider-Man. What follows is a showdown between Spidey and the first-ever Spider-Slayer, all while Peter Parker balances his chaotic civilian life and dodges a setup date with the mysterious Mary Jane Watson.
