“The Arms of Doctor Octopus!”

In "The Arms of Doctor Octopus!", the genius villain escapes his cell with a chilling command to his mechanical limbs, setting off a high-stakes chase that sends Spidey racing to stop a hijacked plane. With a ten-million-dollar ransom and an Asian general held hostage, the web-slinger must outwit a foe whose arms seem to have a mind of their own. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic art, with inks by Jim Mooney and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1989 tale features a standout cover by Todd McFarlane.
