Jackie: Oh, Isn't It Exciting, Peter?

Like Unwrapping Christmas Presents.

Yeah, Jackie. Thanks For Letting Me

Help You
Unwrap This Stuff.

This Is The First Time
In Years

That Anyone's
Been Up Here.

When My Family Decided To Buy This Old House,

I Could Hardly Wait To Explore It.

Hmm...I Wonder If I Could Fix This Radio.

This House Used
To Belong

To Professor Smithers, Didn't It?

Whatever Happened To The Old Bird Anyway?

I Don't Know.
No One Does.

He Disappeared


And The House Has Been Empty Since.

He Was An Inventor. And, From What I Heard,

His Head Was Really In A Strange Place.

He Never Talked About His Experiments

Or Allowed Anyone
Up Here.

I Wonder If...

Peter!
Look At This.

What Is It?

I Don't Know.

I Found It By This Book Over Here.

Looks Like
Some Sort Of Seed.

Say, That's Funny.

It Seems To Be
Getting Warmer.

Must Be The Sunlight.

Hey, Jackie.
Is It Ok

If I Take This Thing Home With Me Later And, Uh--

Peter! Wow!

You Won't
Believe This.

It--It Looks
Like

Some Sort
Of Magnet.

It's Not.
This Book--

Professor Smithers'
Diary.

It's A Time Machine.

Aw, Come On. You're Putting Me On.

Let Me See That Book.

Hey, You're Right.

Listen To This--

"This Is
My Last Entry.

"I Have Set
The Machine

"To 3 Million B.C.

"The Door
Will Remain Open

"For Any
Who Wish To Follow.

"I Have Already
Brought Back

"A Specimen
From The Past.

[Pop]

"It Is Extremely
Dangerous.

"A Seed With An Incredible Rate Of Growth.

"It Feeds On Any Sort Of Energy,

"And Under
No Circumstances

"Should It Be Exposed To Sunlight.

Sunlight Will Trigger Its Growth And--"

Sunlight! Seed!

Peter! The Seed!

[Crash]

[Dramatic Music Playing]

[Woman Screams]

[All Shouting]

It's Absorbing Energy...

Eating Everything
In Its Path.

Too Big For Spider-Man To Handle.

It's Heading
For The City.

Nothing Can Stop It.

What'll We Do?

Only One Thing--

Got To Go Back In Time And Find Smithers...

Ask Him What To Do.
But--

No Time To Argue.

The Machine Is Set For The Past.

That Thing Must Have Some Sort Of Natural Enemy

Back In Time.

I'll Go Back. You Get Out Of Here.

Hurry.
Notify The Police.

[Machine Whirring]

Peter:
That Stone City--

Professor Smithers Might Be There.

[Music Playing]

Ooh. No Time To Sightsee.

Just Hope The Inhabitants Are Friendly.

[Whooshing]

Something's Happening. My Spider Sense...

[Tongue Whipping]

Got To Stop That Thing!

Go To Get Through, Or New York's Had It!

[Tongue Whipping]

It's Going To--

[Bonk]

Wow. What A Way
To Wind Up--

Frog Food.

Let's Get This
Over With Now.

That'll Hold It
For A While.

Let's Go.

Spider-Man:
My Head...

Well, At Least I'm Being Taken To The City.

Ow! I'd Prefer To Walk.

Who Are You?
I Warn You,

If You Come From The Forbidden City, You--

I'm From
The 20th Century.

You Must Be
Professor Smithers.

I Need Help. That Seed Of Yours--

Release Him!
He's A Friend.

The Seed, Eh? I Was Afraid Of That.

We've Got To Stop It.

Great Spiders, The Last I Saw It,

It Was Heading
Toward New York.

It Could Reach It Anytime--Even Now.

How Can We Stop It?

The Only Way To Stop The Vine Thing

Is To Feed It
Pure Radium,

And The Only Radium
I Know Of

Is In The Eyes Of The Great Idol

In The Forbidden City.

Forbidden City?

When I First Came Here 30 Years Ago,

I Gathered Together All The Men I Could Find.

We Built The City,

And, Using
The Radium Gems,

Which Were Very Abundant In Those Days,

We Held Off The Vines.

Radium Gives Off Great Amounts Of Energy.

Anytime We Found
A Vine Thing,

We Fed It
The Radium Gems.

The Energy
Was Too Powerful

For The Vines To Take. They Burnt Up.

All But 2.

Soon There Were Only 2 Gems Left.

We Put Them
In The Eyes

Of The Great Idol
We Built.

Then I've Got To Get To The Idol And--

Hold.
It Is Not That Easy.

The Vine Things Mutated From The Radiation.

One Night, They Attacked Our City.

Before We Could Feed Them The Radium Gems,

They Drove Us
From The City.

They Took Over.

Now They Feed From The Radium Gems,

But Slowly,

So That The Energy Does Not Harm Them.

I've Got No Choice.

If You Can Get
The Gems,

We Will Be Forever In Your Debt.

We Want To Go Back
To Our City,

And If You Take
Their Radium,

The Mutated Vine Things Will Wither Away.

For Now They Are Totally Dependent

On The Radium
For Energy.

What Happens If I Feed The Vine In The Future

The Radium Gems?

It Would Wither.

The Vine Cannot Digest All The Energy At Once.

Then I'm Off.

Good Luck.

[Music Playing]

Hurry...Hurry!

How Close Is That Thing To New York?

[All Screaming]

It Must Be Nearing The City Already.

No Place To Swing From.

[Dramatic Music Playing]

[Crash]

Alert The City!

There Is A Man Thing
Among Us!

It Must Be Captured!

That Giant Temple.

That's Where
The Idol Must Be.

Oh, Master Vine,

There Are Reports That A Man Creature

Has Invaded
The Forbidden City.

What?! The Animals Are Getting Brave.

And What Is Being Done To Stop This Vermin?

We Have Prepared
A Trap

In The Temple
Of The Idol.

Excellent!

For That Is The Only Place It Would Be Going To.

I Shall Look Forward To Its Capture.

We Have Not Used The Arena For A Long While.

Shall I Prepare
The Fanged One?

Yes! I Wish
To Be Amused.

Let The Man Thing Get To The Temple.

Then...Ha Ha Ha Ha!

And Now To Get In.

The Nearest Temple Is Too Far Away

For Me To Swing To.

Only One Thing To Do.

[Bonk]

That's It!

I've Got To Get Those Gems.

Now To--

[All Roaring]

It's Like Dunking
For Apples.

I Could Almost Get
To Enjoy It.

[Music Playing]

[All Roaring]

Spider-Man:
I--I Fell.

They Brought Me Here.

How Long Have I Been Out?

New York...
What's Happening?

[People Screaming]

You, Man Thing,

Have Entered The Forbidden City.

You Shall Pay For Your Animal Insolence.

Animals Such As You
Are Fit

Only For The Sport Of Beings Of The Vine.

How Dare You Challenge Our Vegetable Superiority?

Ach! Just Looking At Your Filthy Protein Body

Disgusts Me!

Let The Animals Fight!

[Vine Beings Roaring]

[Dramatic Music Playing]

Enough Games!

I Order--

Yes, Enough Games.

They're All In The Arena. Now's My Chance.

[Roaring]

I've Got The Gems!

The City Is Yours!

Smithers Has His City Back.

Now To Get To Mine.

But Am I Too Late?

[People Screaming]

Oh, Wow.

[Plop, Plop]

[Surging]

Close, But...
Ahh. I Just Hope

There Aren't Any More Surprises In That Attic.

[Music Playing]

Then I Leapt Out Of The Time Machine,

And There Was Spider-Man.

I Gave The Gems To Him, And He Saved The City.

Oh, Peter.
You Saved The City,

Not Spider-Man. He Only Helped You.

You're A Hero.

Well, I Won't Argue
With You.

One Thing Gets Me,
Though.

The Time Machine--

We Could Use It
Anytime We--

No, We Can't.

I Think These Radium Gems Did Something To It.

It's Dead.

Well, What About Professor Smithers' Diary?

It Disappeared.

The Vine Thing Must've Gotten It.

Aw, Too Bad.

Now We Can Never Go Back And Find Out

How Professor Smithers Made Out.

Maybe We Can.

Huh?
What Do You Mean?

Why Don't You
Come Over Tonight

And Help Me Explore The Basement?

The Basement?
I--I--

Aw.
