Une Aventure de l'Araignée #9
"Les origines d'Octopus" delivers a gripping twist on Spider-Man’s classic rogues' gallery, spotlighting Doc Ock’s earliest days in a story written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with Ditko also handling the inks and Stan Goldberg adding vibrant color. The issue follows Peter Parker as he battles the flu and finds himself unmasked after Doc Ock captures Betty Brant, leading to a tense confrontation that leaves the truth hidden from everyone. Cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the drama with a striking, moody image of the web-slinger in peril.
In "Les origines d'Octopus," a brilliant scientist's experiment spirals out of control, unleashing chaos as his robotic arms take on a life of their own. With the city at risk, a young student, a pair of thieves, and a determined policeman find themselves caught in the web of a man transformed—before he becomes the villain the world knows.
In "Le retour du Docteur Octopus !", Betty finds herself caught in a dangerous web when her brother’s gambling debts force her to aid Doc Ock’s plan to free Blackie Gaxton from prison. With the help of Gaxton’s five accomplices and a boat pilot, the escape unfolds in a tense sequence that brings Spider-Man into the fray—only for tragedy to strike when Blackie shoots Bennett during the chaos. Though Gaxton is recaptured, Doc Ock vanishes, leaving Peter to comfort Betty as she grapples with her brother’s loss.
When Spider-Man falls ill with the 24-hour flu, Doc Ock seizes the chance to capture Betty Brant and lure the hero into a trap. Though weakened, Spider-Man faces off against the villain and is unmasked—only for everyone to believe it’s just Peter pretending to be brave. With his strength returning, the web-slinger must now confront the chaos unleashed by Doc Ock’s zoo breakout, battling wild animals and the mastermind behind the scheme.
