Peter Parker (Rino Romano) covers the launch of John Jameson’s (John Payne II) one-man mission to Counter-Earth (another Earth on the opposite side of the sun). Villains Venom (Brian Drummond) and Carnage (Michael Donovan) board the shuttlecraft so Spider-Man attempts and fails to stop them. Blamed for Jameson’s losing contact with our Earth, Spider-Man is persecuted by the media and the public. Peter is believed dead after he heroically saves a life in a fire so he goes on a mission, as Spider-Man, to retrieve John from Counter-Earth.
