The volume also features the introduction of the Scorpion and the return of the Crime-Master, alongside key supporting cast moments with Betty Brant, J. Jonah Jameson, and Doctor Strange in a memorable crossover. These stories, written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, solidify Spider-Man's early mythos with high-stakes action and personal drama.
In "The Coming of the Scorpion!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a classic early Spider-Man tale where J. Jonah Jameson’s desperate scheme to capture the web-slinger backfires spectacularly. Dr. Stillwell’s experimental formula transforms Mac Gargan into the Scorpion, unleashing a violent new threat that tests Spider-Man’s resolve like never before. With Ditko’s iconic art and inks bringing the menace to life, this 2004 Marvel Masterworks edition captures the raw energy of the character’s formative years—cover by Steve Ditko.
