“Dead Man's Bluff!”

In "Dead Man's Bluff!", a new Mysterio emerges with a twisted game of illusions that pushes Spider-Man to his limits—both in battle and in his own mind. As the web-slinger confronts a foe who blurs the line between reality and trickery, old secrets begin to surface, including a shocking link between J. Jonah Jameson and the villain. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, with Frank Giacoia’s inks and Linda Lessmann’s colors, this 1975 issue delivers a tense, psychological twist on a classic foe. The cover by John Romita and Gil Kane captures the eerie, deceptive atmosphere of the story.
