Kraven the Hunter has hunted and killed every dangerous game known to man. But the one quarry that has eluded him at every turn is Spider-Man. Now this time, Kraven is finally going to eliminate the wall-crawler ... or die trying.
With his sanity pushed to its breaking point, Kraven actually achieves victory over the wall-crawler by shooting him and burying him alive.
