Big Little Book no. 260: Spider-Man Zaps Mr. Zodiac (1976) by George S. Elrik
Big Little Books were small books first published by the Whitman Publishing Company in 1932 that featured text on the left pages and accompanying images on the right. Many were tie-ins with existing comics, books, radio programs, movies, cartoons, and other stories. Once Big Little Books proved successful, other publishers began printing their own versions. The BPCL has almost 400 of the many thousands of Big Little Books published.
Spider-Man Zaps Mr. Zodiac is a later Big Little Book where Spider-Man fights a shapeshifting villain who can take the form of the twelve zodiac signs. It is this villain's only appearance.
