Synopsis:
VAMPIRE AT LARGE! A six-armed Spider-Man is caught between the Lizard and Morbius, the living vampire. Both foes end up fighting for their right to destroy the wall-crawler. During the battle, Morbius bites the Lizard, causing him to partially revert back to Curt Connors. Together, Spider-Man and Connors work to find a cure derived from Morbius's blood. Meanwhile, flashbacks reveal how Dr. Michael Morbius, his lover Martine Bancroft, and assistant Emil Nikos attempted an experiment to cure his blood disease, only for it to transform him into a vampire. As Morbius flees, Spider-Man ultimately retrieves the blood sample that cures both Connors and himself, removing his extra arms in the process.
