The Mighty World of Marvel #6
In "The Ringmaster and His Circus of Crime," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a delightfully eerie tale where a mysterious circus arrives in town, its ringmaster hiding secrets darker than his velvet cape. With Dick Ayers’ bold inks, Stan Goldberg’s vibrant colors, and Artie Simek’s crisp lettering, the story unfolds with a creeping sense of wonder—perfectly complemented by Jim Starlin’s striking cover art and Joe Sinnott’s dynamic inks. Readers are invited to collect coupons and unravel clues, all while the true nature of the circus’s centerpiece remains tantalizingly out of reach.
