Amazing Spider-Man #68 CRISIS ON THE CAMPUS!" (January, 1969)


Synopsis

Anyone remember the story arc from the Fox Spider-Man show in the 90s involving a clay tablet and Silvermane? No? That's okay--'cause here's the original.

Our yarn begins with Kingpin scheming to steal a priceless clay tablet. He doesn't know what it is but it doesn't matter "Men have died for it, then it must be mine!"

Meanwhile....

Trouble is brewing at ol' ESU. The administration is converting a hall into a private dorm for visting alums instead of using it for low-rent housing for needy students. Well, this is the late 60's so that means PROTESTS!

Peter isn't sure where to stand, he doesn't know much about either side, but he ends up ostracizing the students by declining to act without more information.

Kingpin uses the protest as a cover for his theft of the tablet..and the protesters are arrested as accomplices!
