An unusual comic book gift leads to giant alien spiders and their galaxy spanning webs!

Sometimes an expected gift can bare the most unusual fruit. Conor takes a trip to Wacky Town when he is given a copy of Mystic #57, an old sci-fi comic book from 1965. Giant alien spiders, giant man-eating spiders (people were apparently very scared of spiders), soul stealing Devils, robots, and giant shaggy hulking creatures were just some of what he found inside. But really, it was all about the giant alien spiders and their web-based space travel.
