Synopsis
Continued from last issue…..
Peter’s wanderings find him at Aunt May’s house, where he learns the news about the Beetle, and takes a nap on his aunts couch.
After a dream involving the Beetle, Peter is awoken by Anna Watson, who tells Peter that Aunt May has been kidnapped by the Beetle while she was out doing groceries.
Peter slips away and changes into Spider-Man and comes to his Aunt’s rescue.
After a battle with the Beetle, Spider-Man manages to defeat his foe when he toss the Beetle into a nearby swimming pool. The weight of the Beetles costume causes him to sink to the bottom, giving Spider-Man the opportunity to web him up for the authorities.
Changing back into Peter Parker, Spidey checks on his Aunt May to make sure that she’s okay and takes her home.
Siccome una volta non era mica tutto facile e comodo come adesso e fino a casa ti venivano solo i rappresentanti di enciclopedie e aspirapolveri, ma i terroristi no, per scovarne uno a Spider-Man tocca andare fino a Londra, insomma una storia retrospettiva e anche un pò malinconicamente nostalgica, come quando i nostri nonni e bisavoli ci parlavano dei tempi della guerra che non c’era la legna nè da mangiare, qui invece si rievocano i decenni di miseria e carestia in cui sovversivi, attentatori, kamikaze e dinamitardi in America erano ancora davvero merce rara e ricercatissima, e gli toccava importarli, come Sacco & Vanzetti e la Baraldini

Synopsis
Swinging through the city, Spider-Man cannot get the Gwen off his mind. When he stops in at the Daily Bugle building, Joe Robertson pulls the boy aside and asks him where he’s been.
When Joe learns that of what happened to Gwen, Joe sends Peter on “Assignment” to England on the condition he takes news photos for the Bugle while he’s out there.
Flying there in a jet, he soon comes to learn that an American delegate and his son are on the plan flying to England on important government business. When the plane is taken hostage by hijackers looking to have their colleagues released from prison, Peter manages to slip away and change into Spider-Man, saving the airplane from a bomb, but failing to stop the terrorists from escaping with the delegate and his son.
Spider-Man talks briefly with Scotland Yard, and loses his temper when they want Spider-Man to go back to the police station with them so they can review their records. Spidey swings off to look for the terrorists. He eventually finds them, but with out the delegate. When he learns that they are going to die at at 7:00 unless their demands are met.
Spider-Man then begins to scour all of London to try and find them, when he realizes that the terrorists hid them in Big Ben.
Spidey rescues them.
However, when he changes back to Peter Parker and is about to see Gwen, he notices the news reports about Spider-Man being in England, and realizes that Gwen could put two and two together and figure out his secret identity.
Cursing his stupidity, Peter is forced to go home without visiting the girl he loves.
la storia seguente apre un trittico con ancora una volta protagonista Goblin il maligno folletto stavolta diventato pure antiproibizionista, ed è il celebre episodio in cui l’ arrampicamuri soccorre e salva un povero tossico : poco più di una boutade, con tanto di predicozzo qualunquista e gratuito, ma si tratta di un evento fondamentale nella storia del comics americano e mondiale, dove, tra la ponziopilatesca disapprovazione dei sobri e morigerati bacchettoni del comics code, per la prima volta si affronta in maniera chiara, precisa e netta un dilagante fenomeno sociale che già da tempo ha assunto proporzioni drammatiche e devastanti
alle matite si avvicina l’investitura definitiva per Gil Kane che è però ancora ufficialmente affiancato e supervisionato dal maestro John Romita senior ormai in via di uscita

Synopsis
Returning home from England, Peter Parker goes to the Daily Bugle and sells his pictures to Joe Robertson, who’s responses to Peter’s pictures of Spider-Man in action make Peter wonder if maybe Joe knows of Peter’s secret identity.
Returning to his classes, Harry asks Peter to join him out to see Mary Jane’s performance on an off-broadway show.
Peter reluctantly agrees when Harry offers to pay Peter’s way in. While web-slinging as Spider-Man, Peter thinks about Harry’s father Norman and their past as foes, when Norman was the Green Goblin. He decides to take Norman up on his offer for a job, deciding it’s about time he got a real job. He meets with Norman who takes Peter’s request into consideration and tells Peter that he will be attending the show as well.
Web-slinging across town, Spider-Man stops on his way to MJ’s show when he spots someone strung out on drugs and saves him from falling off a building.
He turns him over to paramedics where the druggie is resuscitated. Spidey quickly leaves and changes into Peter Parker to join the others. When Randy Robertson finally joins them, he gets into a brief argument with Norman Osborn about the reality of drug abuse in the city.
Peter ends up getting the ire of Harry when Mary Jane ends up paying more attention to Peter.
During the show, Peter’s spider-sense warns him of danger, slowly becoming aware that Norman Osborn is acting very strange.
When Harry abruptly leaves with Mary Jane in a jealous fit, Peter decides to follow after Norman Osborn as Spider-Man.
Following Osborn into one of the Green Goblin’s old safe houses, Peter is shocked to find that Norman’s Green Goblin memories have returned and that he’s waiting for Spider-Man in full costume.
Notes
- This is the first “above ground” comic book to be published with the clearance of the Comic Book Authority Code. At the time of it’s publication, the Code was strict on depicting drug use in comics, and that any works that featured the use of drugs (regardless of context) would be rejected. Since this story dealt with the negative aspects of drug use and depicts people suffering drug over-doses from drug use, the code rejected the story. Stan Lee felt that the story (Which reflected drug use in a negative light) was too good to pass up, and had the story published without Code approval. The story was a milestone story, and due to it’s success it’s publication ultimately led to the loosening of restrictions that the Comic Authority Code imposed on creators in terms of story content.
A dispetto della copertina molto ingannevole che sembra più un depliant di sanitari e arredo bagno, nell’ episodio che segue per l’ ennesima volta – e non è mica l’ ultima – torna a rompere ragnatele e piastrelle a tempo pieno il mentecatto Goblin sempre in sella a quel suo cesso di aggeggino volante, mentre al povero Spider-Man tocca anche raccogliere i cocci del suo impasticcato figlio Harry
