First Appearances:
Sandy Jones, 1st full appearance "The Fly", cameo last issue.

Peter faces an upset at work due to J. Jonah Jameson's less-than journalistic integrity. But with a recent theft of Egyptian artifacts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Spider-Man’s got his hands full. Spidey takes out his frustration on the Human Fly, and it's glorious bug-on-bug battle!

As the Fly escapes, Spider-Man goes after him, but despite his best efforts, is defeated by him. He then heads to his apartment and changes to Peter Parker, and calls Mary Jane, to apologise for missing their date (another thing he missed whilst he was shackled to the bomb with Jonah). However, Mary Jane hangs up on him. A minute later, Betty Brant comes into Peter's apartment, and just as Peter seems to be accepting her after months of saying she should go back to her husband, Ned Leeds comes in, and punches Peter.

After spending hours swinging around town looking for the Fly, Spider-Man finds the Fly just after the police stop him with a device from SHIELD, severely angry at missing out on his opportunity to stop him. Meanwhile, Barney Bushkin at the Daily Globe makes some more plans to hire Peter Parker, and at Aunt May's nursing home, the owner of the nursing home is confronted by the burglar who killed Peter's Uncle Ben, saying that he's going to kill Aunt May.
