- Spider-Man [Peter Parker]; Gwen Stacy; Flash Thompson; J. Jonah Jameson; Robbie Robertson; Prowler [Hobie Brown] (introduction, origin)
- Synopsis
- Peter tries to see Gwen only to find that she is (apparently) on a date with Flash. Hobie approaches his boss with ideas for new safety devices for his job as window-washer, only to be rebuffed. He implements them in private, adds a cloak and a mask, and thus creates The Prowler. Hobie plans to rob a newspaper as the Prowler then return the money as Hobie, making himself a hero. Naturally Peter (as Peter) discovers the Prowler in the act and J. Jonah discovers Peter in front of an empty safe. Continues next issue.
