DescriptionTHEY'RE BAAACK! Check out this killer 1974 Amazing Spider-Man cover, penciled and inked by the great John Romita Sr! On this stunning cover, Spider-Man is once again challenged by Mysterio, who appears to have gathered together a band of super-villains to take the web-slinger down! It’s a jaw-dropping scene, with Mysterio appearing in a fog joined by Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, the Jackal and Morbius the Living Vampire! Mysterio could hardly have chosen a more formidable team. “Admit it, Web-Head, you’re finished!” Mysterio sneers, “Even you can’t survive an attack by ALL of us!” It’s a classic Bronze Age cover, featuring the most dramatic scene in the book right on the cover to entice readers into buying the comic. Beautifully composed layout with the five villains forming a deadly circle that begins and ends with poor Spidey. Each of the villains looks fiercer than ever, and ready to take revenge on the wall-crawler! This is the kind of cover that Spider-Man fans love, with lots of villains and the promise of maximum mayhem inside. I’m totally jazzed to add this fantastic John Romita Sr. ASM cover to my collection.The art is signed by Romita in the art and again in the border margin. Social/Sharing |

Wow! Incredible layout as Romita encircles Spidey with villains. Really enjoy the mist effects surrounding them all, filling in gaps. Another A+ example!

Not quite the Sinister Six, but a scene full of favorite villains to choose from. And next to a Ditko, a Romita Sr. ASM cover is about as good as it gets. Congrats on this primo Bronze Age beauty.

A fan favorite cover with Spidey against classic villains that were running through the title during those years! It is really attractive to the kid in us thinking we were getting this throwdown inside the book and of course we had the solid Romita Sr. artwork look of the time.

We could say this cover it's a sort of "first appearance" of a new and different Sinister Team. The Sinister Five! Amazing cover superbly drawn and composed by this LEGENDARY ARTIST (in caps). IMHO there isn't any better piece in the hobby than an ASM cover by John Romita. Huge congrats!

Oh you villains...you know that as soon as the battle begins, you'll start interfering with each other's moves and bickering amongst yourselves with your big egos...But hey, you all look FANTASTIC on this stunning Romita Sr vintage Spidey cover, so we'll forgive the fact that you will lose to our favorite wall crawler...again and always!!! Brilliant cover, Bill!! Wow!!

Bill, this is a fantastic cover! Love all the villians envolped in the smoke with Mysterio dominating it. The viewer isn't sure if all the villians are really there are one of Mysterio's illusions to confound and confuse Spidey. Thanks for sharing it and congrats!

An absolutely stunning cover by John Romita! The composition is pure, classic Spidey, surrounded by some of his deadliest foes in a dramatic cloud of Mysterio’s illusions. Romita’s dynamic linework and storytelling are on full display, capturing that perfect mix of action and tension that made his Spider-Man era so iconic.
The restoration work on this piece also deserves some attention. Having seen the cover before restoration really highlights how much care and expertise went into bringing it back to life. The cleaned-up lines, the sharper contrast, and the removal of aging stains make it feel almost as fresh as the day it was drawn. A true testament to both Romita’s genius and the skill of those who preserved this historic piece. What a fantastic example of classic comic art at its finest!

What a spectacular cover by Romita Senior! Steve Ditko might be the father of Spider-Man, but John Romita made him into the international icon that he is to this day. The layout of this cover is just spectacular and it looks like Spidey is outmatched. Congratulations on this fine addition to your already legendary Spider-Man collection!

If I didn't like ya so much, I'd be jealous.Spidey's got his hands full with a bevy of battling baddies. John Romita Sr. supremely gifted and one heck of a nice fella. He lived a good life, and left an indelible mark on the world of comics and comic art. Cheers Bill * * * *

John Romita is on the Mt Rushmore of greatest comics artists, and his 1970s covers are perfect examples of why. It's too bad that he didn't stick around on interiors, but at least he didn't have to draw the Spider-mobile!
Another excellent addition to your collection, of a well-remembered cover from my childhood.

Sometimes you will see I add an additional comment for a variety of reasons. This morning at 5 am. I am drawn back to greatness. Respect always for the great Jon Romita Sr. For me he's 1A beside 1 Steve Ditko and no doubt he created the version of Spidey that the world has come to recognize. #141 always remembered for that magnificent cover effort. Great Bill ****

TITANIC pick up, Bill!! Wow - congrats on landing what must -surely- have been the last issue of Amazing Soider-Man...! (Oh, wait... You mean Spidey -could- survive an attack by all of them?!?) We're all in the hands of a master here, as Romita graces another issue of ASM with a classic "must buy" cover, stacking up foe after foe for Spidey to knock down, completely aware that while a group of superheroes working together is always cool, a group of superVILLAINS together is where the magic happens. (This lovely cover also reminds me of the one he did for the first Spidey treasury edition, which reprinted Pete's first tussle with the Sinister Six. GREAT stuff!). Another killer add to your brilliant collection, Bill! CONGRATS!
