“The Coming of the Scorpion!”

In "The Coming of the Scorpion!", J. Jonah Jameson's desperate bid to catch Spider-Man takes a dark turn when he hires Dr. Stillwell to transform Mac Gargan into the Scorpion. With Stan Lee’s sharp storytelling and Steve Ditko’s unforgettable art bringing the twisted metamorphosis to life, this early UK Spider-Man tale sees a man consumed by ambition and science unleash chaos—only for Spider-Man to face the monstrous results. The cover by Rich Buckler and Mike Esposito captures the menace of the new threat in bold, striking detail.
