Synopsis
Get ready...because this three issue arc, seemingly about "The Master Planner" is actually about the very nature of Spider-Man. It will be referred to time and again in the future, both in Spider-Man and in comics in general. This issue though is just the set-up, the real action happens in the next one. Aunt May has another attack and this time she's hospitalized. Peter is so wrought with worry and concern that all of his new classmates at ESU think that he's a stuck-up snob.
Ned is still pestering Betty for an answer to his marriage proposal, but she still hasn't spoken to Peter. The issue ends ominously with two doctors discussing Aunt May's grave condition.
Notes
- The Master Planner's gang seems to be the same gang as we saw in the previous issue, although they were working for The Cat
- First appearance of Gwen Stacy
- First appearance of Harry Osborn, wearing his trademark bow-tie
- First appearance of Professor Miles Warren
- While this is Gwen's first appearance, she doesn't really come to life until Jazzy Johnny takes over
