The Kingpin Returns
Kingpin
The Kingpin sheds his phony Brainwasher persona and unleashes his full fury on Spider-Man. The brutal beating forces the web-slinger to retreat from the Gloom Room nightclub—giving the Kingpin time to tighten his grip on his latest pawn.
A Dangerous Manipulation
Captain George Stacy
With Spider-Man out of the picture, the Kingpin completes his sinister plan—brainwashing Captain Stacy into doing his bidding. When Gwen Stacy brings her father home, everything seems normal… until Peter Parker arrives and is met with a shocking attack!
Caught in a No-Win Situation
How can Peter Parker defend himself against Captain Stacy without revealing his identity—or hurting the father of the woman he loves?
Featuring
