The release from captivity of Jaycee Lee Dugard remains on many of the front pages.

The Daily Mirror reports that her two children <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/09/01/jaycee-lee-dugard-s-daughters-cried-when-sex-monster-phillip-garrido-was-arrested-stepdad-reveals-115875-21638759/">wept as her alleged kidnapper Manuel Garrido was arrested.</a>

The Daily Star says she <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/96557/Jaycee-s-still-a-little-girl-/">survived her ordeal by pretending to be 11 years old,</a> adopting a Peter Pan lifestyle, to satisfy Garrido's sick desires.

And the Daily Express wonders <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.express.co.uk/home">whether Garrido's wife, Nancy, is the real monster</a> in the case.

Paramedic safety

The Daily Mail is one of many papers to <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1210236/Mother-died-pub-solo-woman-paramedic-stood-outside.html">discuss the death of Melissa Procter-Blain </a> of a heart attack after a paramedic refused to enter a pub.

Witnesses said the paramedic only entered when her safety was guaranteed.

The East Midlands Ambulance Service said the atmosphere in the pub had been tense and intimidating.

The Sun says <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2615561/Medic-refused-to-help-dying-mum.html">a minority of emergency workers have been infected by health and safety lunacy</a> and by fear of an out-of-control compensation culture.

Power cuts

The Daily Telegraph says Britain is currently facing <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/6118113/Britain-facing-blackouts-for-first-time-since-1970s.html">the prospect of widespread power cuts</a> for the first time since the 1970s.

It claims the government's own projections say this prospect is just eight years away.

Nowhere is the government's political myopia more damaging than in its energy policy, the paper suggests.

The newspaper argues that Energy Secretary Ed Miliband appears to be far more focused on climate change than energy generation.

Web-slinger

Many papers centre their coverage of Disney's takeover of Marvel comics on the snaring of Spider Man.

The Times uses a famous line from the strip, <a class="inlineText" href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/article6816134.ece">saying "with great power comes great merchandising opportunities."</a>

The Financial Times suggests the $4bn deal <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/07c7233c-9633-11de-84d1-00144feabdc0.html?nclick_check=1">raises the prospect of other similar transactions</a> at a time when the entertainment industry is in flux.

The Daily Telegraph says the characters <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/6118179/Marvel-to-be-bought-by-Disney-in-2.5bn-deal.html">have earned millions of pounds</a> in the box office in recent years.
