Amazing Spider-Man #69 MISSION: CRUSH THE KINGPIN!" (February, 1969)


Synopsis

The arrested protesters are stewing behind bars and Randy lashes out at his father Joe. Don't let it be said that Stan Lee was ever afraid to tackle tough issues.

It turns out the Kingpin has a wife...he gets really mad if you mention her, so you'd better not. Spider-Man beats the Kingpin up and attempts to return the tablet to the authorities. Unfortunately for our hero, when Tubby was arrested, he told the cops that Spidey was his accomplice. The issue closes with Spider-Man being hounded by the blue-coats and his resolving to become the menace he's always been called. 

Notes
