Then: Once he was the Mindworm, arch-nemesis of Spider-Man! But now he's a lonely, forlorn beggar, trapped in an infernal triangle of poverty, booze and dementia. How can Peter Parker help his one-time foe --and is Spidey himself responsible for his pitiable condition? And finally, from the pages of PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN, witness the return of Dr. Octopus in an intense three-part saga! Collects SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #21-22 and 27, and PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN #39-41."
