It’s a true Animal House, as Red Ghost and his Super-Apes crash a college party at ESU! Good thing Peter Parker got an invite. Spider-Man takes down Red Ghost in the ESU library, and is aided by shy graduate student Roger Hochberg!

Night of the Ape!

After accidentally stumbling onto the Red Ghost in the ESU library, Roger Hochberg is put in great danger as the villain tries to silence him off from telling other people about his presence! It's up to our web-slinging Spider-Man to stop the communist monkey-tamer.
