    I was six years old when that issue came out... how could you NOT buy something with a cover like that? Now all they produce is generic poser shots.

    Engblom is, as ever, a genius. Kane would have loved this. Very awesome.

    One of the great ODDBALL covers (ask Scott Shaw).
    Excellent work...it's like the European humorous version.

    I love that Doc Ock's brilliant plan for this marriage is to surreptitiously steal some dollar bills out of Aunt May's bag. That's the WHOLE REASON for wanting to kill Spider-Man.

    This is the best cover ever.

    Thanks for the kind words, folks! These covers are fun to do, and I've already sent in another one for Robert to (hopefully) post.

    Excellent work! Love the cake topper, and Ock's pose.

    "With this ring I thee...WEB?" Classic.
