Cover by John Romita. Spider-Man is in hot pursuit of the ancient clay tablet! And he receives a tip from Captain Stacy -- that the Shocker's girlfriend may have it.

The web-slinger tries his best, but the raging bull grabs the tablet and takes it to his boss: Silvermane. Why does Silvermane want the tablet? And why does he need Dr. Curt Connors' help?
