In "The Menace of... Mysterio!", Spider-Man faces off against a new, cunning foe who unleashes a barrage of terrifying illusions—Green Goblin, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, and more—each one a lifelike trick of light and shadow. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, with Frank Giacoia and Dave Hunt’s sharp inks, Petra Goldberg’s vivid colors, and Artie Simek’s precise lettering, this 2019 Marvel showdown is a masterclass in suspense. The cover, a striking John Romita Sr. original, captures the chaos in bold, iconic style.
