Description

Here's a fun item -- an unused version of Spider-Man #81, which I bought off the stand back when I was a wee lad. The Kangaroo is stat, but rest including most importantly Spider-Man is original...a nice Romita Spider-Man cover image that didn't break the bank.

Congrads Rob! Very cool! This was one of the gems I remember loving as kid! It must be so cool to own covers/pgs from the Silver/Bronze age. Especially Marvel! AWESOME!

Romita's rejected work is as good as most people's best. So cool!

Very interesting to see preliminary and unused pieces from iconic issues. In some ways more interesting than seeing the published piece

Rejection of such a perfectly depicted and proportionate rendering, are you kidding? Great piece Rob, love it!

Having a cover (even if unpublished) by Romita Sr. of ASM is a fantastic grail to own as part of any decent Spider-Man collection.
