Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #54

"To Save The Smuggler!" - 22 Pages

Writer - Roger Stern
Artist - Marie Severin
Inker - Jim Mooney
Cover - Frank Miller

This cover is awesome. So early 80's Miller. Not just in style, but in theme.

I would love to know what this story was about and I'm a Sad Panda because there's no '40 Years of Spec Spider-Man' DVD. (okay, 35ish years)

Looks more like it was done by Sal Buscema

Maybe, but it says Gil Kane on the Marvel data base...

So get the Spectacular Spider-Man Essential Vol. 2 or 3 (I forget which one) and read these gems in B & W for a really cheap price. :up;

No, that absolutely looks like Gil Kane to me!

 

[Themanofbat]

It does to me as well, though it looks similar to was Sal was doing in the 90's... Kane certainly had that "look" to his art style..

Man, I really miss the old artists...

Brilliant collection of covers mate. Props to MRE for bringing them to my attention.

I agree SpideyHero the Scarlet Spider looks so awesome in that shot.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Yeah, I always loved his art. Him and Bagley just really brought the Scarlet Spider to life, IMO.
