Someone is killing models and obviously Mary Jane finds herself in the middle of trouble.
Dakota North (a police investigator who has nothing to envy of the victims) conducts the investigation.
An unemployed actor, Harvey Finklestein, is in love with model Elyse and wants to conquer her by saving her from the Ripper, so he hires a man to imitate him.
The ruse fails and prompts Spider-Man to hunt down the fake Ripper, rather than the real culprit.
Mary Jane is about to be killed by Elyse, the Ripper, but is saved just in time.
Weak texture, but nice drawings.
