“Dead Man's Bluff!”

Marvel Tales #119 brings together a genuinely menacing showdown between Spider-Man and Mysterio, rendered on a cover by John Romita and Gil Kane (with inks by Romita) that puts the web-slinger at the mercy of the fishbowl-headed villain's enormous, grasping hands amid swirling green smoke. The tagline "Mysterio Means Madness!" sets the tone perfectly, with the exchange of speech bubbles — Mysterio taunting Spider-Man as a "dead man" while Spidey insists the feat is impossible — adding real dramatic tension right on the cover. Inside, Gerry Conway's script and Ross Andru's art bring "Dead Man's Bluff!" to life, making this a satisfying entry in Marvel's reprint series for any fan of Spider-Man's rogues' gallery.
