This is a mid grade item. It will have a few minor defects and will generally appear to be in "slightly used" but not "roughly used" condition. Most comics, magazines, and books published in the past 30 years that have been read but carefully handled and stored will fall in this grade range. Allowed defects for this grade include: minor corner wear (bends and blunting), a light accumulation of spine wear that may include color-breaking stresses, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less than one quarter inch in length. Some color breaking is allowed in a bend or fold in this grade range.

Written by ZEB WELLS. Art and cover by KAARE ANDREWS.
Every kid thinks he's different. Some of them are. Once he was Otto Octavius - a brilliant but introverted young scientist who built a set of highly advanced robotic arms to help him further the field of atomic research. But a freak laboratory accident grafted the mechanical tentacles to his body and altered Octavius' mind: Abandoning his scientific dreams, he turned instead to a life of crime! Now, peer behind the curtain to witness the birth of a mad genius!
Featuring Doctor Octopus' first encounters with both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, the first appearance of Doc Ock's arms, and the true inspiration that led him to build his remarkable appendages - which may have come from a certain web-slinging wall-crawler!
It's the beginning of an amazing, superior rivalry for the ages!
