  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.

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

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