Venom #261
Long ago, a friend of Reed Richards had a problem — an alien costume that didn’t want to come off.
Reed Richards blasted it off with a sonic weapon and imprisoned it for study.
It seemed like a good idea at the time… but now he’s got to work with that alien to save the world — and Venom holds one heck of a grudge!
