"The Horns of the Rhino!" is the title to the story from the forty-first issue of volume of the Amazing Spider-Man comic series, published by Marvel Comics. The story was written by Stan Lee with pencil work by John Romita, Sr.. Ink work was provided by Mike Esposito with Romita doing final touch-up embellishment. Romita also composed the cover art illustration for this issue with Esposito doing finished art and Stan Goldberg as cover colorist. No credit is given for the colorist on the interior pages. It was lettered by Art Simek and edited by Stan Lee. This issue shipped with an October, 1966 cover date and carried a cover price of 12 cents per copy (US).

In this issue, Peter Parker tries to purchase a motorcycle and is surprised to find that J. Jonah Jameson will give him a credit voucher (believing that this will in fact make Peter more indebted to him). Anna Watson offers May Parker the chance to move in with her, but May wants to stay in her own home to look after Peter. John Jameson tells his father about a recent space walk where he was exposed to some strange spores. A new costumed villain, the Rhino, appears and rampages through New York City. He attempts to kidnap John Jameson until Spider-Man intervenes.
