In "A Sword in Hand!", Spider-Woman faces off against the newly empowered Slapper Struthers—transformed into the mystical warrior Excaliber by Morgan Le Fey's sorcery. With Magnus in danger and Jerry Hunt tracking her down, Spider-Woman must use her wits and courage to break Excaliber’s power by severing his bond with the enchanted sword. Marv Wolfman’s story, illustrated with dynamic precision by Carmine Infantino and Tony DeZuniga, brings a mythic edge to the streets of 1978, while Joe Sinnott’s cover captures the clash of hero and sorcerer in bold, striking detail.
