The Amazing Spider-Man #165
In "Stegron Stalks the City!", the Museum of Natural History becomes a battleground when the villain Stegron uses a powerful electromagnetic field to reanimate four dinosaur skeletons, unleashing a prehistoric rampage. Spider-Man fights to stop the chaos, but is buried under rubble after a devastating tail swipe—just as Curt Conners, overwhelmed by the abduction of his son, transforms into the Lizard in a moment of desperation. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, with inks by Mike Esposito and Dave Hunt, this 1977 classic features a cover by John Romita and Frank Giacoia that captures the scale of the terror.
