Pages: 6
Disclose Notes: New story. Concept stems from the then-popular TV series “Mission Impossible” (1966-1973), complete with secret instructions on a self-destructing tape, which goes-off in Tom’s face. Villain is named “The Spiderman” (no hyphen), with 1969, when this story was presumably written, being pretty much the last time such a name could be used innocently and coincidently, and not be some sort of intentional parody.
