Synopsis

This ish opens with with a flashback to a scene from Kraven's last appearance (#39) where it turns out the the Green Goblin had hired him to kill Spider-Man. Why Kraven needed any additional incentive isn't clear, but they've established that he had it.

Of course unbeknownst to Kraven, the Green Goblin doesn't exist anymore. So he goes to visit the man he met with earlier as a liason for the Goblin: Norman Osborn!

Meanwhile, Flash Thompson is enjoying a good-bye party since he leaves the next day to fight in Vietnam. Kraven shows up and kidnaps Harry Osborn as ransom. Peter has to duck away for Spidey to make the scene. Spider-Man beats Kraven in spite of his new "magnetizing ray." Hooray!

Amazing Spider-Man #34 "The THRILL of THE HUNT!" (March, 1966)

Synopsis

Kraven must know a really good lawyer because he's managed to get back into the US. Alternatively maybe he just disguises himself as something other than an incredibly large and hairy Russian man. 

Okay, here's the scene. Aunt May is on the mend which gives Peter a chance to concentrate at school. Unbeknownst to him, the entire freshman class at ESU thinks he's a snob. None of them know that he was just wrapped up in his Aunt's illness. 

Oh yeah, and Kraven impersonates Spider-Man to ruin his (already ruined) good name. Spidey fights him and wins. Hooray! But where has Betty vanished too?!
