“The Clown and His Masters of Menace!”

In "The Clown and His Masters of Menace!", the Circus of Crime breaks free from prison only to cast aside their former leader, the Ringmaster, and rebrand as the Masters of Menace—now united in a daring art heist. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with sharp, surreal energy by Steve Ditko on pencils and inks, this 1984 Marvel Tales standout blends circus spectacle with criminal ambition. The cover, also by Ditko, captures the twisted grandeur of the new threat with haunting precision.
