<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYaaaas! Hyde chucks a big air exhaust at his fleeing foes, and when that doesn\u2019t work, rips a live wire out of the roof and starts using it like a whip, but Spidey stays one step ahead of him, Cobra still in tow, as he makes for the police station. Ned & Marla have already gotten there, and Lance Bannon has been sent to join them. Marla\u2019s not sure Spider-Man is really coming, but then a loud boom outside lets everybody know it\u2019s about to get real. Outside, a cab driver has barely survived a chunk of masonry falling on his cab as Hyde is throwing whole pieces of buildings now. Spidey realizes this is out of control and he can\u2019t escape, so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now Cobra is stuck to Hyde\u2019s hand instead of Spider-Man\u2019s. This seems a little counterproductive. Sure, Hyde\u2019s mad enough to want to kill Spidey now, but his primary objective is killing Cobra, and Spidey literally just put Cobra\u2019s head in his hand, he could crush it like a grape. But instead, Hyde throws a chimney at Spidey, who webs it and slings it back, to no avail. On the next roof over, Ned & Lance have come up to get a better view, Bannon not taking any precautions as he leans over the edge to get photos. This turns out to be a mistake when Hyde topples a couple of water towers and sends thousands of gallons churning right at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I always wondered if comic dudes saying \u201cohmigod!\u201d was getting around some comics code restriction or just trying to sound scared. I still don\u2019t know, but people said it a whole lot in the old days. Spidey doesn\u2019t even know he\u2019s just rescued his chief rival at the Bugle, who is supremely ungrateful because Spidey didn\u2019t save his camera, too. So he webs up Bannon\u2019s mouth and gets back to the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pretty unlike our man to just leave Cobra to die like that. But it\u2019s even weirder that Hyde doesn\u2019t kill him. At least, not yet. He gets Cobra to tell him where he\u2019s been hiding out and how he sneaks in, and then knocks him out and trudges off. And just what did Peter Parker have to run off to that was so pressing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The end of an era. The gang of misfits he\u2019s spent so much time with working here are going to be phased out of the book pretty quickly. Marcy Kane is wanting Peter to come see something in a lab, but he says he\u2019s in a hurry and disappears in the stairwell. Turns out, she wanted him to come to a surprise party with the above-mentioned lovable misfits. Aw. No one is more upset than Deb Whitman, who\u2019s pretty sure she knows Peter ran away to be Spider-Man and isn\u2019t sure what to do with this information. Elsewhere, Hyde has return to his regular human form of Dr. Calvin Zabo (Really!) and put his cloak over the unconscious Cobra to make it look like he\u2019s just stumbling in drunk with an old friend, which gets them into Cobra\u2019s swanky apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, Zabo & Hyde is different from, say, Bruce Banner & The Hulk, because Zabo much prefers to be Hyde. But, as Zabo, he was able to get some \u201cconcentrated acid\u201d (One wonders how that conversation went with his hand webbed to a dude) which he uses to get his hand off Cobra. Then he methodically puts Cobra\u2019s costume back together properly while binding his wrists and ankles, because he wants his treacherous old partner to look like himself as he\u2019s ripped apart. Lovely man! But guess who smashes through the window?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Romita, Jr. is really having some fun these days, filling each book with panels like this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n …as he goads Hyde into chasing him through a surprisingly thick set of indoor bushes so he can web his face, and like this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spidey didn\u2019t actually expect Hyde to go flying out the wall and down to the street, and briefly worries he killed him. But, lucky for both of them, Hyde is alive. Knocked out cold but alive. Back inside, Cobra has slipped free of Hyde\u2019s restraints and is about to give the cops the slip, too, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s that. Another fun adventure. Stern & Romita are really gelling by this point, and they\u2019re just getting warmed up. In the letter page, people are pretty upset that Black Cat died (Again,in the exact same way she \u201cdied\u201d back in ASM 195). You guys must be new here… It was years and years before I obtained and read the end of this 2-parter. It\u2019s one of those weird things about decades of collecting comics. I read ASM 231, I\u2019m sure,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[112],"tags":[9,253,211,154,18,118,122,292,116,212,55,135,117,2,216],"class_list":["post-1343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1980s","tag-amazing-spider-man","tag-bob-sharen","tag-cobra","tag-deb-whitman","tag-jim-mooney","tag-john-romita-jr","tag-lance-bannon","tag-marcy-kane","tag-marla-madison","tag-mr-hyde","tag-ned-leeds","tag-phil-chang","tag-roger-stern","tag-spider-man","tag-steve-hopkins"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1343"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30135,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1343\/revisions\/30135"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/comicsfromspace.com\/spiderman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/deweybass.com\/spiderman\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_20190105_142538-1024x986.jpg\")
