We couldn’t help but snag this one from the back issue bin. With the title on the cover “The Rage of the Reptile,” it seemed right up our alley. Here, Spider-man meets up with his pal Dr. Curt Connors, better (or worse?) known as The Lizard. Something’s not right about Dr. Connors and a little iguana he’s got in his lab. Well, guess what? The cute little vegetarian reptile turns into a hideous villain ready to kick Spidey’s butt! Not the greatest Spidey issue ever produced, but you can’t argue with this splash panel at the end. They even used Spider-man’s often-forgotten Spidey spotlight in his utility belt!

Collector’s Guide: From Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #32; Marvel Comics, July 1979. Script by Bill Mantlo, art by Jim Mooney and Frank Springer.

Zeb Wells and artist Chris Bachalo make The Lizard badder than ever in a four-part story called Shed, part of 2010’s Gauntlet storyline. The Lizard at last commits the unspeakable crime Spider-man has tried to prevent since 1963. In doing so, he triggers a transformation to the next level of evil and looking awesome. Check out this creepy scene where Spidey meets the new and morally unimproved Lizard!

Collector’s Guide: From The Amazing Spider-man #632; Marvel, 2010. Reprinted in Amazing Spider-man The Gauntlet TPB #5 and The Gauntlet Hardcover #5.

Paul Jenkins took a more psychological approach to Spider-man and his villians when he wrote The Spectacular Spider-man. In “The Lizard’s Tale,” Jenkin hypothesizes that maybe Dr. Curt Connors doesn’t really lose control. Maybe he just uses his Lizard persona to act out all his violent fantasies – his dark side. Kind of like people who drink too much and use it as an excuse to be dumb jerks.

Mutating Reptiles taking over the world? YES! Too bad Spider-man shows up to give Dr. Curt “The Lizard” Connors his medicine and make him all normal again. Shucks! Didn’t you ever just want The Lizard to win for once?

Enjoy the scene in our gallery below. It’s the very first showdown between Spider-man and The Lizard!
