I had a request today for a faster turnaround, and although I can't usually put them up quickly, I did have this one ready to go. I was going to post it tomorrow, but a request is a request......
Amazing Spider-Man #13 - The Menace Of Mysterio
Another great villain with (imo) a great costume design. Mysterio will be around for years to come. I think Ditko designed it that way just so he could draw these great billowing clouds of smoke, which he really makes look good.
Money, money,money, MONEY!
I swear it wasn't me. It must have been the dog...
Seems like Spidey is out commiting crimes, and Pete isn't exactly sure it isn't him. That maybe the pressure has gotten to him and he's cracked. He seeks out a skinny version of Dr. Phil, but balks when he realizes that he might be jeopardizing his Secret ID. Meanwhile, he has a run-in with the new flavor of the month, Mysterio, who has offered to tell Spidey some big secret about himself (if that doesn't scream "I'm setting you up moron!", I don't know what does.) Spidey, as typical on a first meeting, gets pwned.
Uh, are there steps or do I have to shimmy down the ropes....?
Jameson, as is customary by now, gives Mysterio celebrity status for beating Spidey, which gives Pete the opportunity to slip a Spider-tracer on him. Now, they meet on Spidey's terms. And although it seems like Spidey has the upper hand, soon Mysterio is on the verge of beating him again, so much so that he has time to recount his origin (Villians 101 covers this in the frist chapter)
I have to admit, I was really captivated by these plans when I first saw them and (honestly) wondered if you could really do it...
But the Wallcrawler was using the rope-a-dope, and was faking long enough to get Mysterio on tape. The fight continues through a movie studio, and Spidey figures his way around all of Mysterio's tricks. He delivers Mysterio to the police, and manages to ruin JJJ's day once again, until he gets his hands on photos of the fight, the only way to make Jonah smile.
The ole whammaroo.....
Gimme a hug....!
I always dug Mysterio's origin. Another one of those "a normal guy could do it" schemes, with a Hollywood twist on it. And another one of those guys, like Vulture, that you think, "Dude, why didn't you just patent this **** and make a boatload of dough off of that?" And Mysterio really makes for a great visual. Except for the haircut. Completely explains the dome head.
