DescriptionWhen I was a kid my family would regularly visit my aunt and uncle. My cousin was a huge comic collector and had a dresser drawer full of late 70's and early 80's Spidey comics. As you can imagine, as a kid of 7 or 8 years old, I was in his room every morning bright and early to read his treasures. Since he worked overnights he was never too happy to see me. To shut me up and get back to sleep, one day he gave me a comic to read. It was Amazing Spider-Man #272. It was also my very first comic ever! We could never really afford comics and so I cherished it. I didn't think of taking care of it so it was well read and beaten up. Long story short, I still have that comic today. When I had the opportunity to purchase the original cover art, I jumped on it. Owning this just feels right. Like I have recovered not only a piece of history but also a piece of my past. This well traveled art has finally come home! I love to hear comments from fellow CAF members with their fave childhood comic memories so post away! Happy collecting! Social/Sharing |

Love to hear your personal connection to the art. That's part of the reason any of us are in this hobby, isn't it? Well, besides being very nostalgic, this is a splendid Amazing Spider-Man cover! Drawn by the superb Ron Frenz, an artist who doesn't get nearly enough credit but followed ably in the footsteps of Ditko and Romita Sr. Fun image of Slyde literally sliding under the nose of Spider-Man. Love that pose he's drawn in--You can see how hard he's running just by the pose! Unusual to have a two-panel cover but this one works. Fun to see Spidey toppling to the ground, having just missed grabbing Slyde and his intended target zooooming off into the distance. Outstanding pick-up, congrats!
