Continuing a Facsimile celebration of the early days of Spider-Man's black costume, which he's now discovered is really an alien symbiote intending to bond with him forever! Peter Parker is back in his classic suit, but his problems aren't over - because Mary Jane Watson and Liz Allan are trapped at the mercy of his bitter foe the Hobgoblin! And next, the fiend is targeting Harry Osborn - but is that exactly what Spidey wanted him to do? The resulting confrontation is a doozy! Meanwhile, Peter thought the symbiote was gone from his life once and for all, safely trapped for study within the Fantastic Four's headquarters. But when it finds a way to break free, Spider-Man beware! It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all!
