The bold cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia says it all — a manipulated Spider-Man stands in the middle of a crowded city street, ensnared by Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms, declaring to the world that he now works for his greatest foe. Doc Ock himself lurks nearby in his green-and-yellow costume, mechanical tentacles coiling around the scene while onlookers react in shock. This December 1972 reprint from Marvel Tales packages Stan Lee and John Romita's Spider-Man storytelling at a wallet-friendly twenty cents, making it a fine way to revisit one of Spidey's most unsettling dilemmas.
