Issue Description

While performing a routine ‘thug shakedown’, Spider-Man is attacked by his own Spider-Mobile! Enter the Tinkerer, the madman villain responsible for the Spider-Mobile’s modifications. Will Spider-Man be able to defeat both Tinkerer, and his robot, Toy? And will Aunt May recover from her shocking brush with Doctor Octopus?

My Killer, The Car!

Spider-Man is swinging around the city, looking for a crime after studying for so long. Eventually he finds some people robbing a warehouse, and recognizes them as part of a gang he's fought twice before (in Amazing Spider-Man #153-154). As he fights them, a mysterious mist appears, and once it's gone, the Spider-Mobile is there. Without anyone in the driver's seat, it drives towards Spider-Man, trying to run him over. Spider-Man realizes that someone must have taken it from the river where he sunk it, and has modified it so that it can kill him. Spider-Man's webbing and wall-crawling abilities have also mysteriously gone, so he escapes by using a loose pipe to pole-vault over a wall and away from the Spider-Mobile.

Spider-Man then changes to Peter Parker and visits Aunt May with Mary Jane, Liz Allen, and Harry Osborn. While they're doing this, J. Jonah Jameson receives a mysterious package with no return address. Upon opening it, he finds some photos, and says that if what they show is true, then Spider-Man is finished.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man tests his webbing and wall-crawling, and finds them to be working perfectly. He then goes out to find the Spider-Mobile, and does once more after encountering the mysterious mist from before. Spider-Man manages to escape to the top of a wall from the Spider-Mobile, but it unexpectedly comes up the wall after him, and keeps following him wherever he goes. Eventually the Spider-Mobile shoots out some webbing at Spider-Man, and captures him. It then drives him to the person who has rebuilt it: the Tinkerer, who has not been seen for years.

The Tinkerer explains that even though he doesn't normally confront people personally, he's been hired to take Spider-Man to someone who wants to meet with him. Spider-Man breaks free of the webbing he's tied up in, but the Tinkerer simply gets into the Spider-Mobile and tries to take out Spider-Man. He starts getting angry with Spider-Man, saying that he can't have created the mist to negate Spider-Man's powers and rebuilt the Spider-Mobile for nothing, but while he's saying that, he accidentally crashes the Spider-Mobile into a wall. Spider-Man is then attacked by Toy, the Tinkerer's robotic assistant, but Spider-Man grabs one of the web shooters from the Spider-Mobile and uses it against Toy.

Carter and Lombado, the two men who originally hired Spider-Man to build the Spider-Mobile, are in their office when they hear a tapping on the window. They look outside to find the Spider-Mobile hanging there, whilst Spider-Man swings off, thinking "Good riddance!".

Volume Description

After the success of Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962) a few months later the same creative team came back to start an ongoing series focusing on the character the two of them created.

The book's run continued until issue number 441 (Nov. 1998) when Marvel relaunched the title as Amazing Spider-Man Volume 2 with a new number 1 in January 1999. After issue #30 (#471) Marvel used a dual numbering system, yet the indicia still stated The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2. On the title's 40th anniversary the numbering was reverted to go from issue 58 to issue 500 (Dec. 2003) as The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1.

This volume ends with #700 and is picked up by the Marvel Now! revolution volume Superior Spider-Man.
