From moving forward, we take a huge step back in time ... travelling to the early days of Marvel's first super star solo character i.e. Peter Parker - the star of many a movie and cartoon and comic book series!Why this issue?
Well, it shows how good the artwork and storytelling really is in the old days. Here we see Peter continuing to learn about his new found abilities. Unfortunately, as life would have it, school work, peer pressure, bullying and dear old Aunt May is not enough to keep him busy
Enter: Doctor Octopus!
Yup like the movie, this issue shows us the origin of Octopus and how Spider-Man encounters him. And in the first fight, the 4 arms actually give Peter a run for his money. Inspite of his Spider sense, it just isn't enough as an attack can come from 4 different angles at any one time simultaneously. And even though the arms are strong but not yet from Adamantium (like in later versions), it is still plenty tough to knock Peter silly!
So it's interesting to see how Peter managed to figure a way to overcome Doc Ock!
