"Trap for a Terrorist!" Script by Stan Lee. Pencils by John Romita. Inks by Sal Buscema. Cover by John Romita and Sal Buscema. As a favor to the Daily Bugle's freelance photographer, Joe Robertson sends Peter Parker to England for a special assignment (and also to visit Gwen Stacy.) Aunt May's nephew is overjoyed about his business trip and quickly hops on an airplane bound for London. However also on the flight is a high-ranking American diplomat -- who is abducted by terrorists once the place lands at Heathrow Airport! Fortunately, Peter brought his familiar red and blue suit across the pond! And the Amazing Spider-Man swings into action from the Tower Bridge to the Big Ben Clock -- to save the American delegate! But will the web-slinger's much-publicized appearance in London derail Peter's plan to visit Gwen? Cameo appearances by J. Jonah Jameson, Aunt May, Anna Watson, Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn, Arthur Stacy, and Nancy Stacy. (Notes: This story was reprinted in Marvel Tales #76.
