Amazing Spider-Man #50

The issue starts badly for Peter. He breaks up a payroll heist, but the victims are as afraid of him as the
crooks. Aunt May is ill, and Peter feels that he isn't spending enough time with her. His grades are slipping
at school, and he feels too fed up with it all to even go on a date with Gwen. When he sees the Daily Bugle
is offering a reward for his capture he tosses his costume in the nearest rubbish bin. Someone finds it and
takes it to The Bugle.

Meanwhile, a portly gang leader by the name of The Kingpin decides that without Spider-Man to interfere,
it's a great time to 'take over all of the gangs in New York'. This isn't the first time we've hears this, and it
sure wasn't the last. Foswell (a reporter from the Bugle) is finding out about all this in his disguise as
"Patch", a common hood.

Peter is throwing himself back into his social life, but discovers that maybe he wasn't missing much. Old
habits die hard, and he risks his secret identity to foil a robbery without his costume. Yeah, Spider-Man
can't kick the habit, and he breaks into The Bugle to retreive his costume. Welcome back Web-Slinger!
