After serving in the military and losing an arm in the service, Dr. Curt Connors can no longer continue to perform surgery and throws himself into a last desperation attempt to scientific study. His love and interest for reptiles leads the doctor to believe he can inject himself with a serum from a reptile that will help to regenerate his missing limb. This serum not only re-grew his arm, but also added a few other reptile-like features, leaving him dubbed with the name “The Lizard”. His new body has left him three times the strength of Spider-Man, but only half as intelligent as him as well. Spider-Man is left with the challenge of controlling his friend and preventing further self-destructive behaviors through this action packed graphic novel. This story would be useful in an art class or to help students sequence parts of a story. I could see myself also using this comic book to introduce an idea of a newspaper and what make up the parts of one. This novel seems to only be for entertainment purposes, but I could definitely connect certain elements with academic topics. I feel as though this could captivate boy’s attention and promote reading.
