Review/plot: The Headsman is trying to get a gig, and after he gets into a fight with Spider-Man...

...and thinks he defeated him (Peter just didn't have time to fight him so he ducked out), he goes to crime boss Lucky Lobo, but it turns out Spidey is still alive and the Headsman goes off to fight him again. The Green Goblin intended to propose an alliance with Lucky, but Lucky's encounter with the Headsman has him treating costumed villains as lackeys instead of potential partners, so after Spidey and the Headsman get into a protracted fight the Goblin attacks the Headsman and shuts down his power source.

Here's some scans of Betty and Liz, who min in the comments clearly doesn't like (i actually think it's a nicely done scene).

Betty Brant and Liz Allan are 2 crazy chicks. Fatal Attraction bunny boiler kind of crazy. if i were Peter, i'd run screaming in the opposite direction.

Hello Fnord!
You forgot to list the Green Goblin as a character in this issue!
