“War of the Reptile-Men!”

In "War of the Reptile-Men!", Spider-Man faces off against a terrifying new threat as Stegron unleashes a horde of reanimated dinosaurs—Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brontosaurus, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus—brought to life by his Retro-Generation Ray during a snowstorm in Manhattan. With the city under siege and Billy Connors in danger, Spider-Man must battle the prehistoric onslaught while Curt Connors works to reverse the transformation. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Ross Andru with inks by Mike Esposito, this 1977 classic features dynamic action and a festive yet perilous holiday setting. The cover by John Romita and Frank Giacoia captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
