LO STUPEFACENTE UOMO RAGNO
THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN
EDITORIALE CORNO SECONDA SERIE
ALBO ORIGINALE TUTTO A COLORI DEL 1983
Da eccezione sporadica e saltuaria quale era agli albori, la mania di accoppiare Spiderman ad altri personaggi ha ormai dilagato a regola fissa fino a degenerare in vizio incallito e prostrante dipendenza, e i vari supereroi con lui devono fare i turni proprio come le farmacie : stavolta è di piantone il DOTTOR STRANGE a tentare di infinocchiarlo con le sue sciocche fandonie e i suoi plateali artifici mistici, ma ormai lo conoscono bene tutti, non fa quasi più effetto di casanova o del mago forrest, e soprattutto non incanta più nessuno, men che meno il suo scafatissimo e scafandrato collega DR. DESTINO. Esaurite le debite premesse ed avvertenze per l’uso, va però rimarcato che la storia, magnificamente illustrata da Frank Miller, è comunque un piccolo capolavoro.
contiene inoltre : X-MEN – I FANTASTICI QUATTRO
CONDIZIONI: OTTIME , LIEVI ALONI DI MACCHIA IN RETROCOPERTINA

Synopsis
Castle Doom in Latveria: Dr. Doom has made a pact with the lord of
the Dark Dimension, Dormammu to unleash a powerful mixture of science
and magic called the Bend Sinister. However, knowing that whoever casts
the spell to cause this fusion would ultimately perish, Doom sends his
pawn Lucius Dilby to the Dark Dimension under the teachings of Dormammu
to master the mystical might to cast the spell. Using his combined
knowledge of magic and science, Lucius creates a creature that is a
construct of both magic and technology.
Knowing that Dr. Strange is the only one who could possibly pose a
threat to their plan, Lucius sends the creature (disguised as a mummy)
to be delivered to Dr. Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorium. Not expecting a
package, Strange uses his magical powers to open the container, and he
and Wong are attacked by the magical robot. With Wong knocked out and
Strange over powered in his physical form, the Sorcerer Supreme tries to
escape in his asteral form, however he finds a horde of spectral
creatures waiting for him outside of his Sanctum to stop him. Being
dragged back into the Sanctum, Strange sends out a mystical call to help
to any of New York’s super-heroes who may be around to answer the call.
With the Avengers and the Fantastic Four out of town, the sole hero
around to answer the call is Spider-Man, who is currently conducting a
class at Empire State University in his civilian guise of Peter Parker.
When a chance chemical reaction causes the building to be evacuated,
Peter uses this as leave to change into Spider-Man, cancelling his
midnight date with Debra Whitman to go see a show at CBGB’s.
Arriving at Dr. Strange’s Sanctum, Spider-Man is first attacked
by stone gargoyles come to life, and later strange four-armed creatures.
