We continue our Spider-Man Christmas with 1976's "War of the Reptile Men" from Amazing Spider-Man #166 by Len Wein, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito...

This is one of the earliest Spider-Man stories to be set on Christmas, and it has a big event in the lives of Peter Parker's friends...

The main story, though, is about how the evil Stegron has begun to animate dinosaurs and has kidnapped Curt Conners' son as part of Stegron's war with the Lizard. So when Spider-Man suddenly finds himself fighting a bunch of re-animated dinosaurs, it is not a good time for Spidey...

What a sweet ending.
