*Marvel: Another overlap in our event features as we present the first appearance of another major member of Spidey’s Rogues’ Gallery. In the appropriately-numbered thirteenth issue, Peter Parker’s costumed alter ego faced one of his most baffling foes: Mysterio, whose inexplicable feats bordered more on the supernatural than the super-powered, and brought Spidey close to the edge of insanity. Steve Ditko’s artwork here transplanted a touch of his imagination from Doctor Strange to Spidey’s more urban environment, and from the visual evidence, Sturdy Steve was having great fun making both worlds collide! Mysterio is shortly to appear on the silver screen in the new movie, ‘Spider-Man: Far from Home’, portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal, and predictably, this announcement of a media cross-over has caused an upswing in interest in this issue. This debut of one of Spider-Man’s greatest villains is a beautiful VF- copy, the nicest early Ditko Spider-Man we’ve had through our hands in recent years. It has a printed Pence price. The white-background cover image has no smears, shadows or smudges, vivid colour, good cover gloss, and beautiful, flexible, cream-coloured interior pages. Tight edges and corners, firm staples at cover and centrefold, only the very faintest ‘ticks’ in the black of the cover nearest spine, but truly exceptional grade for its vintage. High resolution images are available on request. VF- pence £1,000.
