Amazing Spider-man #13 - Steve Ditko art & cover

Steve Ditko

Amazing Spider-man v1 #13, 1964 - Swirling mists announce the arrival of a new super-villain: Mysterio. Steve Ditko's cover does a splendid job demonstrating how ineffectual Spidey's webbing is against this new threat. The story art is similarly well drawn and meticulously paced. For the final confrontation between the two foes, a movie studio serves as an unexpected backdrop. Ditko creatively employs a faux lunar landscape as an excuse for more interesting imagery. This is number 13 of 38 Amazing Spider-man issues with Ditko art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Ditko or Amazing Spider-Man issues. See also this blog's Ditko checklist.
