Issue Blurb
Aunt May has decided to stay on at Doc Ock's mansion, but before Peter has time to dwell on it his attentions are grabbed by the Smasher. Meanwhile, the rest of the city has come down with campaign fever, but who is Richard Raleigh, the charismatic frontrunner.
Issue Notes
This issue is a reworking of the events in Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #1 (not to be confused with The Spectacular Spider-Man title). Because of the addition of post-George Stacys death, this issue is considered cannon and the previous issue from 68 is considered out of continuity.

In one of the first of many instances of paradoxes/continuity issues, surrounding the death of Richard Raleigh who was shown as deceased in Daredevil #42.
