It’s not a comic book wedding till a super-villain arrives! Mirage, a petty thief turned criminal mastermind, crashes the wedding of Betty Brant and Ned Leeds. Will Spidey be able to save this special day? Or will Peter Parker’s identity once again be threatened in front of friends and family? Plus, Aunt May receives a surprise visit from none other than Dr. Octopus!

On A Clear Day You Can See...The Mirage!

It's Betty Brant and Ned Leeds' wedding today, and Peter Parker has been invited. When the wedding starts, however, a mysterious man named Mirage arrives with some thugs and tries to rob everyone. Peter manages to change to Spider-Man, but can't find out where Mirage is since whenever he attacks him he reappears somewhere else. Eventually he manages to drop a chandelier on him, defeating him and letting the ceremony continue.

After the wedding, Aunt May returns home to find the homeless man from the past few issues at her house, who reveals himself to be Doctor Octopus, requesting her help!
