    "The Arms of Doctor Octopus!" Part 1 of 3. Script by Stan Lee. Pencils by John Romita. Inks by Jim Mooney. Cover by John Romita. The mechanical arms of Dr. Octopus are on display in the New York Museum of Natural Science! And since Doc Ock is in prison a thousand miles away, he is unable to mentally control his arms. Or so everyone thought. Oh no! When Otto Octavius' arms escape from the museum, the police and the wall-crawler attempt to corral them, but they cannot. Eventually, the arms make it all the way to the Midwest...and free their master! Dr. Octopus is back in business! The six-armed super-villain swiftly resumes his criminal ways by hijacking an airplane and holding it for ransom! And thus setting up a battle on the tarmac vs. your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Cameo appearances by Gwen Stacy, Professor Miles Warren, J. Jonah Jameson, John Jameson, Betty Brant, Joe Robertson, and Captain Stacy. (Notes: The web-slinger previously clashed with Doc Ock in Amazing Spider-Man #56. This issue was reprinted in Marvel Tales #69.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.15.
