Editor in Chief Jim Shooter decides to draw this issue. Interesting. And he doesn’t do a bad job. Shooter was at the time trying to pattern all Marvel books after how Stan Lee did them, and this closing panel certainly looks like a Lee/Ditko one.
Jack O’Lantern takes over a hospital that treats civilian and criminal patients, and Aunt May’s fiancé Nathan Lubensky is a patient there, so Spidey springs into action. I always thought this was Jack’s first appearance, until I started this project and read Machine Man #19.
