☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Spider-Man Goes Mad!" is a standout 1969 tale from Marvel Tales #19, featuring a pivotal moment in Spider-Man’s early run. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with Chic Stone’s inks and Art Simek’s lettering bringing the chaos to life, this issue captures the web-slinger at his most vulnerable. The cover, a striking piece by Steve Ditko, perfectly encapsulates the story’s intensity.
In "The Thunder God Strikes Back!", Thor—disguised as Dr. Blake—navigates a dangerous web of deception, pretending to betray his own identity to reclaim his cane and face the Cobra. As the battle unfolds, Blake must confront both the villain Hyde and the growing rift with Jane, whose trust has been shattered by his actions.
In "The Human Torch In the Clutches of the Puppet Master!" from Marvel Tales #19 (1969), the Puppet Master—having narrowly survived a deadly encounter with a giant octopus—uses his mind-control powers to manipulate Johnny Storm into pursuing Alicia in a twisted, romantic ploy. As Johnny’s fiery form moves against his will, the stage is set for an explosive clash between him and Ben, all while the Puppet Master watches from the shadows.
