The only thing more amazing about this incredible cover being filled with dozens of our favourite Marvel heroesrunning and flying towards the viewer in all-out action, is that it didn't end up in YOUR collection, Pauly!
Congratulations on snagging such an amazing wraparound cover, Dino!

I am definitely one jealous buckaroo! But I have some time to convince Dino to leave this one to me in his will. The question is, Will he will or Won't he will? Bad joke ...

A galactic cast to compliment Spidey! A real push for new readers to catch up in the 80's with these index books and the early ASM reprints in Marvel Tales. Shooter was smart to create and court the new fanbase to expand to a loyal market before the speculation boom of the 90's. Many who got in at this time are lifelong fans.

Wow! What a cool array of Marvel characters! And on a wraparound cover no less! How cool is that? Howard Bender did a terrific job here. Nicely posed Spider-Man, which is drawn pretty much in the classic John Romita style. In fact all the characters are drawn in classic Marvel style. But that's a good thing. Crisp, sharp inks by Paul Ryan add to the mix. Congrats on a handsome cover with everybody (almost) on it.

Awesome! I loved this Index series (and Saga and Handbook) and I poured over them as a kid. This one particularly was a favorite and I still have my well worn copy. Great cover! Bravo!

How many Marvel characters can you pack into a double cover?! Wait how many is it really? OK, 21, and that includes Redwing :) Not bad, Howard! Classic cover shot, Dino, and hard to top as a MTU example, with Spidey leadin' the charge. Congrats!

Wow. This cover has you written all over it.
I think what your pieces have in common is appreciation of the grand. The spectacle. The pop-off-the-page factor.
Amazing, Dino!
