This may be one of a long line of long-forgotten one-off spidey villains, but I love this cover.

I prefer the second, also forgotten Fusion created by Paul Jenkins.

Ok, everyone. Let's vote! Which # 200 is better? Right now I'm still deciding since I like them both.

 

[iloveclones]

I definitely like them both, but I think Amazing #200 is almost the standard by which all anniversary issues should go by.
