Synopsis

Someone is committing crimes as Spider-Man! Pete thinks he's cracking up and visits a psychiatrist. He quickly realizes that he can't undergo therapy without compromising his secret identity. A menacing figure who calls himself Mysterio promises that he can bring Spider-Man's reign of terror to an end. Mysterio beats Spidey the first time they tangle but the second time makes the mistake of revealing his entire back-story and arsenal while he thinks Spider-Man is beaten. Also, Betty begins to be jealous of Liz Allan in this issue.
