Uncanny Tales #74
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Madness of Mysterio!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a striking tale of cosmic justice, where a ruthless businessman named Simon Sledge finds his fate twisted by forces beyond the law. When his feet begin moving on their own, leading him away from a life-altering deal, he’s confronted by a bootblack whose true nature reveals a higher power at work. The story’s eerie tone and bold visuals are brought to life by Ditko’s distinctive art and Stan Goldberg’s vibrant coloring, with a cover by John Romita that captures the moment’s unsettling gravity.
Simon Sledge, a man whose cruelty is as sharp as his tailored suits, finds himself on the brink of total victory—until a simple shoeshine sends his feet walking in the opposite direction. As he watches in disbelief, the bootblack he once dismissed with a sneer reveals a gaze far older than the city’s cobblestones, whispering of justice that even the most powerful can’t outrun.
In "The TV Fan!", Laura Wentworth finds herself married to Pete Sloan, a man whose only passion is watching television—until she reveals a secret of her own. When her husband’s obsession crosses a line, Laura’s true nature emerges in a twist that turns his endless viewing into something far more literal.
