When Peter Parker boarded a plane in Las Vegas, he never expected it to become the property of the Vulture! After forcing the plane to crash-land, the Vulture's picking off the survivors one at a time! Can Peter stop him without revealing his secret identity ... and without any web fluid? Summary Still in Vegas but making his way to the airport to fly home, Spidey realises that he's short of webbing and that his web-making equipment is back in New York. At the airport, he realises a larger-than-life character, 'Snake' is to be on the same plane as him. Out in the desert and the Vulture has glided into a cave. We get a flashback to Web of Spider-Man #24 in Atlantic City where the Vulture tried to sell his dodgy dice to Snake. Continuing on, the dice were a product of his and Randall Reece's research and were contained in journals that were later stolen from Vulture's hotel room. Vulture blames Snake and has vowed revenge. On the plane that Pete's on, Vulture interrupts its flight with a stick of dynamite to try and kill Snake. The plane plummets but Pete breaks open a cupboard with parachutes in and the passengers float to safety. Well, relatively speaking. The Vulture intercepts them and flies off with Snake. Snake's gang follow him while Pete tends to a stewardess who's been ko'd. The Vulture takes Snake back to his cave but Snake reveals the journals were blown up on the plane. Spidey then shows up. He struggles in battle with no webs and in the heat. Snake's gang shows up and gets him away. Vulture manages to inject Spidey with a 'mummification serum'. He is out cold but is woken up by a member of the police dept. She tells Spidey that they managed to 'coax' an antidote out of the Vulture for the serum. The stewardess Spidey helped was a plant as the CID have been after Snake and capturing Vulture was just a bonus. Notes: The cover is a homage to the cover of Baffling Mysteries #7 .
