Description

LIFETHEFT, Part 3 of 3: THE SADNESS OF TRUTH. Double-sized issue. Blue foil cover. Final issue of writer David Michelinie's 7-year run. Shock follows shock as Peter Parker learns the painful truth about his parents. Inside the Chameleon's New Jersey hideaway, the faceless villain reveals that Richard and Mary Parker are artificial simulacrums (aka life model decoys). The web-slinger is stunned. But there's no time for sorrow as the wall-crawler must stop his parents from revealing his secret identity. Once the Chameleon morphs Richard into a killing machine the battle lines are drawn: the Vulture, the Chameleon, and the Richard LMD vs. the Amazing Spider-Man. As the fight progresses, could a mother's love -- even the love from an artificial mom -- propel her web-spinning son to victory? A heartbreaking ending for all. Final appearances of the Richard Parker and Mary Parker life model decoys. Elements of the story continue in SPIDER-MAN #45. Second story: THE LOST DAYS. Story by David Michelinie.
