Why it's Hot:
- 1st appearance of Morbius the Living Vampire
Synopsis:
A MOSTER CALLED MORBIUS! Peter Parker has grown four extra arms. He realizes that it's because of the potion he created and took to remove his spider powers so that he could stop being Spider-Man and live a normal life and settle down with Gwen Stacy.
Peter, in his new state panics and thinking himself a freak, he snaps back to reality when his phone rings. When he answers the phone it turns out to be Gwen, she's inviting him to come see a movie. Peter makes up an excuse and snaps at her so that she'll leave him alone and forget him in case they don't see each other again. Gwen is saddened by this but gets the message and hangs up.
Peter calls Dr. Curt Connors and reveals that it is Spider-Man and that he needs his help. He travels to Connors’ Southhampton home to use the lab in the basement to find a cure. Meanwhile, a mysterious man stranded at sea transforms into a vampiric being and slaughters a ship’s crew before washing ashore near Connors’ home.
The creature, Morbius, discovers Spider-Man and attacks him. As the battle intensifies, Dr. Connors arrives and transforms into the Lizard. With Spider-Man regaining consciousness, he finds himself caught between two monsters as the saga of Morbius begins.
