Less than 100 people in the world can say they own a pre-100 Amazing Spider-Man cover. I feel blessed to be one of those few. This dynamic action-packed cover was drawn by John Romita & Marie Severin. John drew the main characters & Marie the background. This is the FIRST time John Romita ever drew Electro and this is Spider-Man's VERY next battle with Electro after AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1 back in 1964!

Drawn in 1969, on the newsstand in January 1970 with a publication date of March, this cover features a very dynamic fight sceen. In the story, Peter decides that it would be good for his public image to go on a TV talk show. Unfortunately he chooses a network where Max Dillon [Electro] works. In collusion with Jameson, Electro attacks Spider-Man live on stage. Spidey defeats him, but it is a Pyrrhic victory.

RIP Marie Severin (1929-2018)

Any original run Spider-Man cover is a treasure. But especially a sub 100 issue, and one that looks this good, what a piece!!
