In "’Tis Better to Give! [Part 1]," Spider-Ham and Howard the Duck find themselves stranded in an alternate dimension after a case of heartburn sends a zapped Whoatcher on a wild tangent. Written, drawn, and inked by Alan Kupperberg, with colors by Mike Rockwitz and letters by Rick Parker, this quirky adventure sees the duo teaming up to thwart the schemes of Ducktor Doom. The issue’s dynamic cover, penciled and inked by Todd McFarlane, captures the chaos in bold, energetic detail.

In "'Tis Better to Give! [Part 1]," Juggernaut surprises Black Tom with the Cyttorak ruby for his birthday, unleashing a shared surge of power that throws both of them—and the city—into chaos. As the two struggle to control their combined might, it’s up to Spidey and the X-Men to step in before things spiral completely out of control.

In "Ducks and Doom," the Whoatcher's heartburn leads to a wild mishap that sends Spider-Ham and Howard tumbling into an alternate dimension, where they must team up with a surprisingly sinister cast of duck-based villains to stop the diabolical Ducktor Doom from turning the entire realm into a quack-filled catastrophe. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, this five-page romp blends slapstick chaos with classic superhero antics in a world where feathers are as sharp as any blade.
