AMAZING SPIDER-MAN "Pull of the Prodigy" Conclusion

Spider-Man witnesses a load of young teens boarding a helicopter...late at night.

Webbing himself to the undercarriage, he's carried to an upstate mansion where the teens meet The Prodigy...who is actually an extraterrestrial alien with the ability to manipulate minds!
He's encouraging human teenagers to get pregnant and, since they are unprepared to raise and support the babies, allow him to take the children, ostensibly to have them adopted by foster families, but actually to kidnap them to his home planet, where they'll be raised as a slave labor force!
Using his vocal ability to manipulate the kids, he's providing them with mis-information about sex, and encourging them to...well...breed!
The comic ends with some useful suggestions as to where to get additional practical information...
Written by Ann Robinson of Planned Parenthood, and illustrated by the long-time team of penciler Ross Andru & inker Mike Esposito, this 1976 digest-sized giveaway was one of the first Public Service Announcement-type comics featuring Marvel or DC characters!
We've run a number of them on this blog!

After all, we wouldn't want you to do anything foolish between now and next Friday just because you didn't know!
