In "The Ghost and the Darkness," Mysterio unleashes a twisted scheme against pop sensation Zane Whelan, turning the spotlight into a trap. As Peter Parker and two Daily Bugle interns investigate Zane for a profile, they find themselves caught in a web of illusions and danger—unaware that the real threat is one step ahead. Written by Glenn Herdling and illustrated by Gregg Schigiel, with inks by Richard Case, colors by Paul Mounts, and letters by Chris Dickey, the issue’s cover by John Byrne and Townsend captures the eerie tension of a star under siege.
