Another of
Jameson's wild goose chases?
Mystery lights, yet.
The only lights I've seen so far
are fireflies.
[RUMBLING]
Fasten your seat belts!
[WHISTLES]
Don't make waves
till I make this change.
SPIDER-MAN: Contact.
Two down, one to go!
Now, for a 3-point landing...
That glow...
Mystery lights, maybe.
Hmm, it's worth checking.
Hey!
So... Spider-Man!
You're not the only one
who knows
how to use a web!
This is my great day.
Not only does Spider-Man
fall into my clutches...
but my greatest invention
is ready.
It will give me power
to rule the universe!
Don't expect applause.
You won't scoff
when I wipe out
this whole section
of the city!
[SOFTLY] That's where I live!
[CHUCKLES]
To prevent loss of life...
I have sent Jameson
a warning of my plan.
As a matter of fact...
he should have
the letter by now.
"I shall demolish
the area charted.
"Advise removal
of all residents
"before demonstration.
"Signed... Dr. Octopus!"
What if he really
means it?
Ha ha ha. When you've been
a fearless publisher like me...
for so many years...
You'll realize the woods
are full of cranks.
I wonder
what's keeping Peter.
It's getting so late.
Hah! You can't trust
a teenager to do a job.
He's goofing off, no doubt.
While Ocky's
out of the lab...
I'll loosen
some of this linkage.
There! My hands are free.
Spider-Man!
What did you expect,
Peter Pan?
You dare to mock me?!
[CLANG, CLANG]
[CLANG, CLANG, CLANG]
Those flappers
can't move fast enough...
to catch Spider-Man, Ocky.
Ah! Most ingenious of you.
[SNAP]
He snapped my web
like it was thread!
DR. OCTOPUS: Be my guest.
Mr. Jameson cautioned me
about coming out here...
but Peter's so late, I--
[BRAKES SCREECH]
Peter's car!
Peter!
Peter?
Peter... where are you?
Aah!
Who are you?
I'm Betty Bugle
of the Daily Brant.
I--I mean, Betty Brant
of the "Daily Bugle".
Ok, Miss Brant,
but be careful.
We've had some strange
reports about this place.
What's a nice girl like that
doing way out here?
Ah! A visitor!
Let us welcome her properly.
[SOFTLY] It's Betty!
Peter? Are you in here?
Our fair lady should be
entering any moment.
SPIDER-MAN: Run, Betty, run!
Too late, Spider-Man.
You'll pay for it
if you hurt her, Ock!
Spider-Man, how did you
get trapped?
That's what
I keep asking myself.
Now, young lady...
you and Spider-Man
can serve as witnesses
to my great powers!
My plan is
deceptively simple.
Just like you!
Electronic impulses
will penetrate...
every water, gas,
and electric line
in the area.
This will build up
shock waves
that will demolish
everything.
I'll set the impulses
in motion!
That gizmo
makes the atom bomb
look like
a firecracker.
He isn't kidding!
He's really going to do it!
Hoo hoo hah hah hah hah!
These...forged...
Steel bars...
I...I can't bend them!
This might be my chance.
Doc Ock's
turned his back.
DR. OCTOPUS: Spider-Man...
no one can interfere
with my plans!
Looks like I caught you
with your plans down.
I'll stop you with
my all-powerful arms.
Butterarms!
My spider senses
are tingling.
SPIDER-MAN:
Something's going to--
Spider-Man, look out!
Ock, your messages
sure carry weight!
I would have got
quite a charge out of that
if it had landed!
Do something,
Spider-Man!
DR. OCTOPUS:
The giant ventilator fan!
Look out!
No! No!
Yes! Yes!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
[BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ]
Don't good morning me!
Where's Betty Brant?
RECEPTIONIST:
I don't know, Mr. Jameson.
Nobody cares how I worry.
First Parker disappears...
I'll call the police.
Count on us, Mr. Jameson.
We'll do everything possible
to find your people.
Typical teenagers-- the minute
there's any work to do,
they go gallivanting off!
[RING]
Huh?
Who?
[RINGING]
Water lines?
Where?
The electrical lines?
Jameson speaking.
No, no, not to you!
Huh?! But the whole area
will be destroyed!
Dr. Octopus!
Everything's happening
just like he said it would!
Spider-Man,
can you hear me?
Are you all right?
DR. OCTOPUS: Your concern
is heartwarming, young lady.
But save it for
the more worthy souls
such as the ones who fail
to heed my warning.
Kindly note the violent
eruptions in the city.
Stop it! Stop it
before it's too late!
Hoo hoo hah hah
hah hah hah!
Betty,
listen closely.
I'll spin my web into
our handcuff locks.
And when the web hardens,
it'll serve as a key.
As soon as you're free,
hurry and look for help!
The impulses will build
to even greater velocity!
Spider-Man!
How did you get out
of those handcuffs?
Just talented, I guess.
Your talent is about
to end, Spider-Man!
You hope to defeat me
with a fragile thing
like this web?
Now I'll get rid of you
for good!
This might change
your view of things.
Oh, this blasted web!
I can't see!
And to further cement
our friendship...
And then Spider-Man
made keys out of his web
and opened my handcuffs!
Peter Parker!
Imagine meeting you here!
Thank heaven you're safe!
Where have you been?
Trying to get my car fixed.
You could have built one
in this time.
Spider-Man has captured
Dr. Octopus!
While you two celebrate
your reunion...
I'll go check out
on our captive.
[READING]
Now, tell me exactly
what happened.
Well, Spider-Man--
Enough! Enough! I don't
want to hear another word!
But--but--but--
Parker, where were you when
all the activity was going on?
And to make matters worse...
you didn't even get pics
of the mystery lights!
I should have asked Doc Ock
to lend me a hand.
