    First appearances of Silvermane and Man-Mountain Marko in "The Web Closes!" Plot by John Buscema and John Romita. Script by Stan Lee. Art by John Buscema (layouts) and Jim Mooney (finishes). Cover by John Romita. Spider-Man is in hot pursuit of the ancient clay tablet! And he receives a tip from Captain Stacy -- that the Shocker's girlfriend may have it. The wall-crawler rushes to her apartment, but a new super-villain is already there: Man-Mountain Marko! The Maggia sent Marko to get the petrified tablet...and nobody is going to stop him! The web-slinger tries his best, but the raging bull grabs the tablet and takes it to his boss: Silvermane. Why does Silvermane want the tablet? And why does he need Dr. Curt Connors' help? Cameo appearances by Gwen Stacy, Caesar Cicero, Joe Robertson, Randy Robertson, and J. Jonah Jameson. (Notes: The letters page includes letters from comics historian Peter Sanderson and comics writer J.M. DeMatteis, respectively. This story was reprinted in Marvel Tales #54.) 32 pages.
