Marvel Tales Vol 2 #54 – Spider-Man’s High-Stakes Hunt for the Shocker!
Marvel Tales Vol 2 #54 (reprinting Amazing Spider-Man #72), by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr., is a gripping Silver Age tale. Spider-Man visits George Stacy for leads on the Shocker’s stolen tablet, learning the address of Shocker’s ex-girlfriend. There, he battles Man-Mountain Marko, Silvermane’s enforcer, while Cesare Cicero, another goon, bails out a Kingpin operative to decode the tablet. At the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson fumes over pro-Spider-Man coverage, but Joe Robertson defends factual reporting. Marko throws the ex-girlfriend out a window, forcing Spidey to save her, letting Marko escape with the tablet. As Peter Parker, Spidey learns Curt Connors was abducted. Unbeknownst to him, Silvermane holds Connors to work on the tablet, ignoring Connors’ cryptic warnings.
