Man goes from newlywed to cuckold in the space of one panel, then gets eaten alive by a space alien; blood pours from a guy's eye socket in a vivid, gory panel. The prize story is a yarn titled "The SPIDER MAN," in which a misfit breeds giant spiders to inflict misery on mankind ("Ha-ha! So they think I'm mad! They call me Spider Man! Idiots! Die! Die! DIE!!").
