*Marvel: In Amazing Spider-Man #21, our hero comes up against the Human Torch’s old foe the Beetle for the first time, with the Torch himself involved for good measure (Johnny Storm’s path crossed frequently with the wall-crawler’s back in those days). Following their first encounter with Spidey in Amazing #16, the Circus of Crime appeared for a return engagement in #22, this time without the Ringmaster, but with new addition Princess Python in her first appearance. A great cover with the Spider symbol and Spidey’s elongated shadow. Both copies here in virtually identical shape.
