Peter Parker and Dr. Curt Connors (a.k.a. the Lizard) have always shared a unique bond. Both are men of science, but one was gifted with powers while the other was cursed. Only together can these sometimes allies, sometimes adversaries survive the unstoppable Iguana. Then, in a two-part Annual extravaganza, comes Doc Ock! All the while, Peter's increasingly on edge. The bizarre horror of the Swarm and a battle with Morbius, the Living Vampire, do little to help. Then, the emergence of the Schizoid Man pushes him over the line. And on the other side is the Spider-Lizard! Can our mutated hero survive? He'd better, or he won't be able to team up with the FF against the Frightful Four! Collecting: The Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) 32-42 & Annual (1979) 1, The Amazing Spider-Man Annual (1964) 13 and Fantastic Four (1961) 218
