#164: The Arranger tells the Beetle that he would like to hire him to kill Spider-Man. However, the Beetle is not interested in hunting down Spider-Man, telling the Arranger that he is only looking to do straight crimes. The Arranger then decides to offer the Beetle a job robbing an armored car carrying a supply of diamonds.

#165: First appearance of Knight & Fogg & death of The Arranger

#166: Once in London, Peter quickly changes into Spider-Man so he can try and track down Knight and Fogg. He decides to start by going to the Scotland Yard for information. However, before he can figure out the location of their headquarters, he hears an explosion. The blast came from the 1st Bank of London, where a gang of costumed thieves is robbing the establishment. Spider-Man catches them by surprise and webs them all up. When the police arrive, Spider-Man is introduced to Inspector MacDougal of the Scotland Yard. The wall-crawler asks the inspector what he knows about Knight and Fogg.

#167: Spider-Man struggles with Fogg, whose immaterial form makes him a difficult foe to fight. Using a web-line to pull down a powerline, Spider-Man manages to stun Fogg with electricity, jolting himself in the process. However, the ploy worked, as this causes Fogg to revert back to human form. Unfortunately, that's when Knight arrives to avenge his brother. During the fight, Spider-Man tries to explain that it was Fogg who hurt his brother. When Fogg admits this, Knight becomes enraged and attacks his partner. While the two brawl with each other, Spider-Man tosses the live wire at the pair, shocking them into unconciousness.
