Amazing Spider-Man 176

He Who Laughs Last…!
By Len Wein, Ross Andru, and Tony DeZuniga
Jan 1978

- Part 1 of A New Goblin
- Spider-Man bickers with J Jonah Jameson as he takes him home, which  is follow up to the previous story which involved the Punisher
- Spidey heads home to get some rest
- later (the next day?) he goes looking for Aunt May only to find her at a protest, where she gets into an argument with a cop and then has either a stroke or a heart attack
- then PP gets into an argument with the cop and shoved him harder than he meant to and then almost gets shot by the cop, who gets talked down from it by another cop
- MJ meets PP at the hospital, are they an item at this point? She is there for support
- after leaving the hospital Pete goes to Dr Hamilton's office to find out how Harry Osborn is doing only to find the place has been trashed and Harry is probably the one who did it
- Pete goes to the apartment that Harry shares with Flash Thompson only to discover that Harry is dressed as the Green Goblin and beating up Flash
- the issue ends with the Goblin tossing Flash out of a window
- mostly setup, a definite in between-er
- priceless: Aunt May at the protest, fighting with the cop, hitting him with her sign
