“The Arms of Doctor Octopus!”

In "The Arms of Doctor Octopus!", the brilliant but tormented scientist breaks free from prison, commanding his deadly mechanical limbs with chilling precision. With a high-stakes hijacking of a plane and a hostage in a foreign country, Doc Ock sets his sights on a massive ransom—only to face off against Spider-Man, who’s determined to stop him. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic art and Jim Mooney’s sharp inks, this 1976 tale delivers a tense, classic clash of wits and strength. The cover by John Romita captures the moment of tension with bold, expressive detail.
