Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can, spins a web any size, catch a steeze,

just like flies, look out, here comes the Spider-Man, is he strong?

Listen, dud, he's got radio, active blood, can you swing from a thread, take a look overhead?

Hey there, there goes a Spider-Man, in the chill of night, at the scene of a crime, like a street of lights,

he arrives just in time, Spider-Man, Spider-Man, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, welcome fame,

he's ignored, action is his reward to him, life is a great big pain, wherever there's a pain, you'll find a Spider-Man!

Thousands of years before the dawn of civilization, evil magicians fought for supremacy, and Kotep was the most aggressive.

The world was mine this morning, the battle was won, all that stands in my way is brassmen.

Oh Kotep, your demon armies have defeated my hosts, but in order to win this world, you must defeat my magic,

or your own demons will destroy you!

No, no, it can't be, I can't, no, the battle is mine!

Hi Susan, how's about a beach date this Saturday?

Oh hi Peter, gee, I'm gonna be busy all weekend with a paper on archaeology.

Oh, archaeology, that dull stuff, the beach is a lot more fun than reading about all those ancient mummies and pyramids.

I know, and I got her, sorry, bye.

Wow, I wonder why Susan is always busy when I ask her for a date.

Bet she'd change her mind if she knew I'm really Spider-Man.

Magic was very important among the ancient dwellers upon the Nile, and magicians held great power in that land of the mysteries.

The greatest of these was the mighty Kotep, the scarlet sorcerer, the most dreaded magician of the ancient world.

Golly.

Legend has it that Kotep was destroyed by the demons who served him, but the gods in punishment for the sins of black magic

chained his spirit into eternal bondage to his mummy, and would not permit his spirit to enter the afterworld.

And legend says a magical formula was buried with him, a formula that can raise his ghost from the abyss of time,

a secret by which a magician of today could invoke the powers of Kotep and employ them today.

Gosh, how terrible.

That's all for today, class. Don't forget to hand your term papers in Monday morning.

Let's have a coffee in the museum restaurant, Susan.

Okay.

No, professor, it's no good arguing. You're dismissed.

Parents say you've been frightening your class with all those creepy legends about Kotep the scarlet sorcerer,

and stories of a method that can bring him back to life, not a nonsense.

I say it's not nonsense, Dean Wilkins. I've deciphered the inscriptions.

I am ready to try an experiment that will go down in history.

Think of it. To summon the spirit of a great sorcerer from the past into the world of today.

What a triumph for science.

What a drivel, man. You need a psychiatrist.

Ah, so you think I'm mad, you old fool? I'll show you. I'll show the world.

Get out of here before I call the police.

I'll go, but you shall hear from me again.

Hi, Susan. I was going to meet you after class and buy a coffee, but I see you've all ready.

Thanks for the kind thought, Parker, but I'm taking care of Ms. Shaw. See you around.

Oh, Bob, Peter, don't quarrel. Peter, sit down and have a cup of coffee with us.

Come, oh, Kotip, come, come, by Isis the mother of stars and Osiris the Undyne,

by Set the Guardian of the Underworld and Thoth the Lord of Logicians.

Return, I command thee, to the earth.

Three at last, after 6,000 years. A curse has ended.

Who summons my spirit from the depths of time?

I do. I command your help in overthrowing my enemies.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, fool. What care I for such as you? Be gone, groveling dog.

Before my destruction, I was gathering magical powers for the conquest of the world.

I shall yet build an everlasting empire of black magic.

But reward me. Here is your reward.

Kaya sangutaya shamadu.

Whoa, what was that noise? Sounded like something breaking.

Oh, look, just like the statue.

It's, can it be? The scarlet sorcerer, but he's come to life.

Get them, they've hurt the professor.

This looks like a job too big for a bunch of school kids.

It's time for Spider-Man to take over. I'd better duck this crowd and change.

Peter, you're running away. Just going to get help, Susan.

Legos. Peter, you coward. I'll never speak to you again.

Now to banish these fools from my path. Hold it, buster.

What? A man in strange garments? With the powers of a spider being?

Right, buddy. I don't know who you are, but here I come.

Look out for this.

My demon slave has remarkable powers too, old Spider-Man. Behold!

Yeah, man, I can see where ugly here could come in handy.

Let this be a warning to you, man, in the spider mask.

I am the mightiest magician ever, spawned by the land of the Pharaohs.

And none can withstand me.

I'm no Tarzan, and that's no ape, but I learned a few tricks from all those

jungle movies.

Puny fool, mere dodging will not suffice to evade the clutches of my demon slave.

Wow, this guy in red is a bag full of tricks, all right.

Web, do your stuff.

Okay, wizard, let's see if you've got a trick up your sleeve for this.

He's gone. Extra, extra, read all about it.

Scarlet sorcerer terrorizes museum visitors,

professor hospitalized, police baffled.

There there, professor, you'll be all right. No,

no, this is all my fault. I was a fool hungry for revenge.

I have done a terrible thing. I must fight against this evil spirit.

Oh, golly.

And what of Kotep, the scarlet sorcerer? What has the mightiest magician of all

time accomplished since he vanished from the museum?

The scarlet clad villain has withdrawn into the half world of magic

here in a fantastic castle of shimmering crystal.

He reigns supreme and here he lays his sinister plans

for the destruction of spider-man. Listen. Long have I waited for this day,

the day when I, Kotep, alone shall rule the earth.

Arise, oh demons from the past. Arise, oh brothers of magic. Arise for I,

Kotep, summon you from the depths of time to become my legions of war. Arise

and follow me for I alone, all the scepter of power,

and no one stands in my way.

You have come. We have heard you, Kotep. We have heard and we came,

but you are not alone in power. One stands in your way and before we

follow, you must prove your worth of leadership

and destroy him yourself.

So be it. The one of whom you speak is that wretched spider-man.

Don't you bring him here and erase him once and for all.

I shall prepare a magic web in which I shall ensnare the spider himself.

He's resting now. You'd better go. Must repair

the damage done. Wow, look at that. It's a giant

spider web.

Oh, something's happening and I'll bet that screwball sorcerer and the red

nightgowns behind it. I'd better get out of here and take a

closer look. Please go now. Wait, he's saying something about...

Tell the police only one way to stop

Kotep. The secret of his power is... Yes. Yes, professor. We're listening.

Wow, whatever it is, it's tremendous. Wonder what Kotep hopes to gain by

it. If it is Kotep who's behind that king-sized

flytrap, I guess I'd better take a closer look.

Ready, men. Fire the flamethrowers at the web when I give the command.

One, two... Captain, I have important... Let me go. Get back this. I have no time to

listen now. I don't know what that thing is but it

looks mighty dangerous. Look.

Spider-man, the professor says to grab Kotep's scepter.

He's powerless without it. Watch out for that web. It might be a trap.

Wasn't that Susan's voice? Couldn't quite make out what she said.

Grab Kotep's what? Well, I guess it doesn't matter.

He couldn't hear me. Looks like Spider-silk, all right.

But hey, I guess this must be the first time in

history a spider ever got caught in a spider web.

Now what? I'm falling.

Wow. I hope somebody got the number of that truck.

My head feels like a giant's been using it for a volleyball.

Heaven isn't supposed to look like this.

What a way to travel. Once around the park, James, then home

for tea.

Thanks for the ride, fellas. Sorry I had to leave so quickly.

Wow, pretty fancy place. I gotta hunch the scarlet sorcerer

lives here. A little garish, perhaps. Oh, ho, the way

out.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Welcome to my humble abode.

Why, it's the spider boy himself. I see my little web attracted your

attention. I thought it would. Okay, fella, you want to play? Here come

a couple of fish. I have learned how to duplicate the power

of your webs, you see. Or rather, my little friends have.

I have one. I have one.

Now, you are fully in my power, foolish mortal.

I have but to lift my scepter to destroy you.

Scepter? That's the word Susan yelled at me from the street.

The secret of his power lies in his scepter.

Sowey!

No! Stop him!

You fool! All my power lay in that magic rod.

The spell is broken. The spell that brought me back from the spirit realm,

broken. When my magic scepter broke,

now I must go back into the depths of time.

That was what I call a close one. So, if it hadn't been for you, Professor,

I guess even Spider-Man would have been helpless to combat that red phantom you

conjured up from the mists of time. Yes, Professor, you're the hero of the

hour. Even Dean Wilkins is willing to give you

your job back if you'll stay away from magic. Thank you.

Thank you, but it was all my fault in the first place.

There are some things man was not meant to meddle with.

I am happy that I was able to help put down the terror I aroused.

Now, I must rest. Oh, Bob, you were just marvelous.

So brave. Charging that awful red figure with a tripod like a

like a knight from the past. How about Spider-Man?

He was pretty brave too, wasn't he? Sure, but he's a superhero. He's supposed to

act brave. Not many superheroes around here, I'm

afraid. You might be surprised, Susan.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man does whatever a spider can.

Spins a web any size. Catch his feet just like flies. Look out.

Here comes the Spider-Man. Is he strong, good, and loud? He's got radio, active

blood. Can you swing from a thread? Take a look

overhead. Hey there, there goes a Spider-Man.

In the kill of lights at the speed of a crime

like a stream of lights, he arrives just in time. Spider-Man, Spider-Man,

friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Welcome, man.

He's ignored. Action is his reward to him.

Life is a great bidet. Wherever there's a pain,

you'll find a Spider-Man.
