“Der Tod von Bettys Bruder mit dem schurkischen Dr. Octopus!”

In "Der Tod von Bettys Bruder mit dem schurkischen Dr. Octopus!", Betty’s brother finds himself trapped in a deadly game of debt, forcing her to reluctantly aid Dr. Octopus in a daring prison break to save him. When Spider-Man intervenes, chaos erupts—Blackie Gaxton fires a fatal shot, and Bennett is lost. Written by Stan Lee and Elisabeth Montfort, with art by Steve Ditko and colors by Stan Goldberg, this gripping tale captures the emotional weight of loss and the cost of desperate choices. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby, perfectly frames the tension of the moment.
