History:
(Peter Parker Spider-Man II#21) - Spider-Man first encountered these creatures of unspeakable evil during a regular patrol. Four Mimes were in a shootout with the police outside a jewelry store they'd just robbed. Spidey took them down quickly while mocking them relentlessly. The Mimes couldn't even get a word in edgewise. They were taken into police custody and exercised their right to remain silent. Peter Parker ended his day by giving stand-up comedy a shot, but got no laughs from his opening mime joke.
(Peter Parker Spider-Man II#38) - This was part of the 'Nuff Said Month: the stories would have no words. In auditorium at an undisclosed location, the Mime leader stood before his gang, which had apparently been foiled by Spider-Man a few more times since. Sporting an Admiral's cap, he presented his plan for revenge, earning a silent ovation.
Spidey was ambushed while trying to save a couple being held at gunpoint by a couple of Mimes. Silent, but deadly, the whole gang lay in waiting for him. Spidey found himself being pursued by the Mime Tank, commanded by the Mime leader himself. On a stoplight, the Mime Mobile takes a break while staring at the Monkmobile in a wordless challenge. The Monkmobile broke down in a heap at the attempt of a drag-race. Spidey lured the Mimes (by mooning them) into an Acme plexiglass factory and setting up a trap of his own. The angry Mimes gave chase and ended up trapped inside a giant plexiglass box. There are no words for this.

While these are the only two recorded appearances of the Murderous Mimes, here's hoping someone brings them back. You know what they say, third mime is a charm. I'd like to think they have been active this whole time, without anyone hearing a peep. After all, the First Rule of Mime Club is
Peter Parker Spider-Man II#21 alternate numbering is #119, Peter Parker Spider-Man II#38 alternate numbering is #136.
