Giant-Size Spider-Man.THE YESTERDAY CONNECTION
In 1934, Doc Savage and his men encounter a strange ,beautiful ,blue skinned woman from a parallel dimension, who seeks his help in vanquishing another strange, violent being, also from her dimension. Saku,the world she comes from was described as a world where our dimension of time corresponds to a linear dimension. Thus merely by traveling a linear distance on Saku, a traveler may emerge on Earth many years before or after an earlier visit.Where as this seems to make sense,the dimension time moves through space,than space moving through or is the other way around,dosen't much sense in the light many believe time and space are not separate,but something called space time.Anyway,the whole Saku would is silly,with little gyro pyramides floating about their seas Natives of Saku possess some forms of advanced equipment, capable of space-time manipulation, and the transubstantiator
THE YESTERDAY CONNECTION
A scientist and sub-space explorer, she developed some unknown grievance with Tarros and tried to destroy him. When she found out that he had merely been transformed, she traveled to find him on Earth in 1934, where she enlisted Doc Savage and his allies. They succeeded in trapping Tarros. In the modern era, when Tarros would have escaped, she tried to convince Spidey to destroy him. Spidey saw through her, freed Tarros, and let him take her back to Saku.A scientist and sub-space explorer, she developed some unknown grievance with Tarros and tried to destroy him.

Desinna was working on a project exploring sub-space with her assistant Tarros. Tarros notified her of a breakthrough, a cosmic twisting of the space-time barrier. However, in his zeal to show it to her, he tripped and fell into their prototype space-time device, and a power surge slew his physical form, transforming him into an energy being and sending him to another dimension.
Desinna created her transubtantiator for (1) translation of her words into another language, (2) creation of a protective force field, (3) tracking energy signatures, and (4) penetrating the dimensions of time and space.Disinna used it to arrive on Earth at the same time as Tarros, and she observed his fully transformed form. Identifying it as evil and insane, she then traveled back a few hours in time to enlist the aid of others for assistant before Tarros would arrive.
- In 1934, Doc Savage received a message that informed him of an impending assassination attempt on mayor Fiorello La Guardia during the dedication of a construction site. Savage and his allies prevented the assassination, but he then correctly determined that the message was from another world, and that its true meaning indicated a threat at the same construction site, but occurring that evening. They returned to the site, where they were met by Desinna, who told him of the menace from beyond time, Tarros.
Just then, Tarros arrived, denouncing Desinna and grabbing her. Savage's ally, Monk, nailed Tarros in the back of the head with a brick, causing him to drop Desinna, and Doc Savage, Renny, and Ham lassoed his neck in an effort to bring him down. The giant Tarros easily broke free from them, leaving them strewn about the ground. Savage sent Renny and Long Tom on an errand, while he occupied Tarros with anything he could get his hands on. His allies completed their errand successfully, and sent him a special cadmium liquid. Savage used this liquid to damped Tarros' electrical energy, trapping him inside the foundation stone for the building that La Guardia had just dedicated.
Several decades later, in the modern era, that same building was slated for demolition. Desinna traveled to that time and used her transubstantiator to send a Morse Code signal that she needed Spider-Man's help. Spidey swung to the scene to investigate, and Desinna told him of the past of Tarros, and of her 1934 adventure. She was interrupted in mid-story when Tarros appeared attempted to capture Desinna once again. Spidey tried in vain to stop the powerful Tarros, until he found an electrically operated jackhammer, which he used to disrupt and disperse his electrical form.
Desinna then finished her story, telling Spider-Man he must finish off Tarros for good. However, Spidey had taken a course in comparative languages and based on what he could understand, combined with Tarros tone when talking to Desinna, he had grown suspicious of Desinna's story. He correctly figured that Tarros was, in fact, the victim. Spidey shattered the foundation stone, freeing Tarros once again. Tarros then transported Desinna back to Saku, to face the music for her crimes, and he thanked Spidey for his help.
Doc succeeds in sealing the creature into the cornerstone of a building under construction, but has a weird feeling that the case is somehow unfinished. In 1974, the building is about to be demolished. The other-dimensional woman seeks Spider-Man's assistance in preventing the creature's escape. Instead, Spidey senses something wrong and demolishes the cornerstone with a jackhammer, freeing the creature. It turns out that the woman had tricked Doc into unjustly imprisoning the creature, and Spidey was able to right an ancient wrong.
Of course, even the chance to learn more about Doc Savage can't blind me to all flaws and there is one quibble. I'm not sure about the fact that, unlike Doc Savage, Spidey sorts out the situation because, unlike Savage, he lives in a time when men know that women aren't always trustworthy. Really? Has he never read any of those hard-boiled detective novels that were so big in Savage's time?
