    "Then Shall We Both Be Betrayed!" Part 2 of 3. Guest-starring the Sub-Mariner. Script by Denny O'Neil. Art by John Romita Jr. (breakdowns) and Jim Mooney (finishes). Cover by John Romita Jr. and Al Milgrom. After torching Peter Parker's Chelsea apartment, the Wizard and Llyra go back to Ryker's Island and free the Sandman and the Trapster! And just like that the Frightful Four is together again! Meanwhile in midtown, a tired web-slinger (and his fellow tenants) check into a nice hotel following their narrow escape from their burning building last issue. But out of the blue the Sub-Mariner smashes into one of the adjoining rooms and threatens Peter's attractive neighbor! Aunt May's nephew is furious! Are Spider-Man and the Avenging Son going to throw down again? Why yes they are! And the winner gets...the Frightful Four! (Notes: Llyra previously appeared in Sub-Mariner (1st series) 50. This issue includes a bizarre full-page parody of the cover to the classic Uncanny X-Men 142 (by Jim Salicrup and Terry Austin). The Sentinel on the cover says: "Hi kids! We're back again! And we've killed all the X-Men! Really! 'Cept Kitty, and she's real small." It's believed that Amazing Spider-Man 214 was the only issue that featured this special advertisement.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.50. Grade: CGC 9.8 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
