“Madness Is All in the Mind!”

In "Madness Is All in the Mind!", Spider-Man finds himself manipulated by the cunning Dr. Faustus, who drugs him into unwitting service. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art and Frank Giacoia’s sharp cover inks, this 1977 issue delivers a tense psychological showdown as Spider-Man battles the lingering effects of the mind-altering drug to stop a dangerous scheme targeting the flu vaccine.
