All of a sudden, John Romita does full pencils for this one. Maybe his schedule cleared up after finishing Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine 2. Sadly, it won\u2019t last. But he\u2019s inked here by Jim Mooney, so things are looking better on 2 fronts. Spider-Man is currently \u201csix inches tall\u201d and \u201ctrapped in a model of an amusement park\u201d while a \u201cgiant Mysterio\u201d attacks him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spidey seeks shelter, but it turns out he\u2019s entered a hall of mirrors, and the mirrors surround him and start slowly closing in on him. At that moment, Aunt May wakes from a nightmare in which Peter was in terrible danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No one at The Bugle has any idea where Spidey or Mysterio might be, and Robbie says he might call Captain Stacy and see what he thinks. Then we get back to the fight, where Mysterio lets Spidey know the mirrors are covered in a deadly poison, so if he breaks them, he could still die. Seems like, if you\u2019re really trying to kill him, maybe don\u2019t tell him that. Spider-Man webs up the walls, \u201cclogging the mechanism\u201d and slowing their movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spidey fights his way to the surface of the deep water he\u2019s fallen into only to have a giant axe swing at his head. He just grabs onto the less dangerous bits and lets it pull him out of the water, as some monsters start approaching behind him. Spider-Man leaps up onto the ceiling from the axe, but Mysterio pulls it away to taunt him some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At least Spider-Man isn\u2019t assuming the sea monster is real like he would in the 70s. He breaks free of the tentacles and bolts as Mysterio gets more and more upset that he\u2019s not going insane. Spidey notices the attacks aren\u2019t coming so quickly anymore, like Mysterio didn\u2019t plan to work this long, and finally gets a moment to catch his breath. Then we cut to The Stacy home, where the phone is ringing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the first appearance of Randy Robertson. Randy doesn\u2019t always get much time in the spotlight, but he always keeps popping back up in the books, even serving as Peter\u2019s roommate in current comics. Spider-Man realizes he\u2019s almost out of pages and better stop buying into all this, and goes on the offensive, telling Mysterio he knows none of this is real. Mysterio throws a giant knife at him, and he uses it and some web to catapult himself up and Mysterio\u2019s allegedly giant head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love the contradiction between the dialogue and the caption at the end there. Pretty funny. But before we see Spider-Man get involved, we have a couple of detours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
