In fact, the alien race is snooping on the defense plans that are being discussed by an Army Major even as Spiderman finds out about their dastardly plan.
Spiderman is found, and there's a skirmish between the aliens and Spiderman. Though Spidey overpowers all of them, he is finally captured after a device is thrown at him. He is held captive in a special cell, which Spidey comes out through with his webbing.
There's another skirmish now, in which one of the control panels is hit and there's a major fire. Spiderman escapes, along with The Tinkerer and all the aliens. As people see Spiderman escaping from the chimney, they wonder whether it was Spiderman who set the building fire.
Discussion:
The first issue had Peter Parker get accustomed to his role as Spiderman, and the next issue had him first fight against a common criminal The Vulture, and the third story pitted him against an alien race!
That scalated quite fast, didn't it? Well, the one common thread in all these stories is electronics. A miniature camera, a device that stops the Vulture's artificial wings, and special devices in radios that alow people to spy on others.
We need to stress here that though electronics may seem to be portrayed in a bad light, it is finally an electronic device that Spiderman uses to beat The Vulture.
If comic books are a picture of the situation back then, we are guessing being in the electronics business was not a very idea at that time. In these issues, along with the larger than life characters like an alien race and a flying thief, new electronics is at the heart of the subject.
The Spiderman character has also grown tremendously in the initial issues, and the writers have made it a point to elaborate on how Spidey is getting things done.
We are looking forward to read the other adventures and discuss them. Are you? Tell us all about in the comments section below.
