The artist Gil Kane who was already famous from his work at Marvel’s rival DC comics started doing the art to Spider-man during the early seventies. He was responsible for some of Spidey’s landmark issues such as when Spider-man’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy was killed by the Green Goblin. Gil had a style that was unmistakable, [...]
Spectacular Spider-man #216 last page splash depicting the return of Spider-man’s clone after 20 something years. Add to that a long storyline, a huge controversy, and that makes this artwork that much more special. Whether you hated, or loved that particular storyline, it is part of Spider history now. I feel that the best original [...]
This original artwork to the cover of Amazing Spider-man #369 features a classic looking Electro, a Spider-Slayer, and titles. Yes, titles! What ever happened to the word balloons on covers?

Back in the day, even before MMMS (Merry Marvel Marching Society), Marvel would send out a pin-up of a Marvel hero to a select few that had mailed in fan responses to their books. One of the pin-ups was done by one of Spidey’s creators Steve Ditko, and is one of the earliest give aways. [...]
Flash Gordon’s current artist extraodinaire Jim Keefe has outdone himself with the cover below done after an actual Romita sketch. It definately harkens back to the late great sixties during Spidey’s second skirmish with the Kingpin. Back then there were no variant covers, but would have fit in really nicely as an alternate cover for [...]
