DescriptionIssue #299 is McFarlane’s second cover from his run on The Amazing Spider-Man. The issue is a highly sought-after piece of comic book art, not only for its striking composition, but also for its rarity. This cover is one of only three covers McFarlane created for The Amazing Spider-Man that features Spider-Man in his black suit.The cover's significance is further elevated by the fact that the story within the book included the first appearance (birth page) of Venom. Venom has become one of Spider-Man's most iconic villains. McFarlane's work on the title helped define the era's distinct style. His bold and intricate linework paved the way for a new generation of comic book artists. Social/Sharing |

So nostalgic - remember pulling that issue off the stands back in the day. Little did I know I should have been buying the original art and not the comic!

This cover should be in a museum. A work of art should be accessible to everyone, like Picasso's paintings or the mummies of ancient Egypt.

That is an amazing Spider-Man cover (see what I did there?). I remember buying this much anticipated book at my local comic shop back in the day. Limit of one per customer and they sold out quickly for those that didn't have ASM on their pull list. You can stop collecting modern comic art now although I guess it is technically 35 years old!

The dream of every Wallcrawler fan. And one of the only 3 covers by McFarlane where Spidey appears with the black suit in the main series. Thank you very much for sharing such a marvel. Merry Christmas my friend.
