Sweet! How often do you see all those characters on one cover drawn so perfectly! Nice one Dino!
Amazing! Love all those superheros and the fantastic poses. Super cool pickup; congrats, Dino!
I remember those Index comics well, loved them!
Love this piece! Great to see it here!!
Kettle of Falcons!
1986 is right in my nostalgic sweet spot as well. Congrats buddy!
What a great image! I didn't know this category of index was a thing.
Soo many characters, great 2 page cover spread.
Never seen this book before! But great cast of characters here. Congrats!
Time capsule from the 80s...love the characters, especially spidey and doom!
Thats a Plethora of characters. Incredible Dino.
Big & loaded with characters, just the way I like 'em!
Oh man, you got the very best Official Marvel Index cover!! Look at Spidey front and center, with all those other A-list characters!! Spidey only teams up with the best, right? Major congrats, Dino, that is one outstanding piece!!
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 ...
Hey Paul, as they say, "When there's a WILL, there's a way!" :-)
Yes, there is always a way 😉...and CONGRATS!
Love these "Official Indexes". SO many characters sharing the same space is always fun to see. Nice one, Dino!
Awesome cover!
How sweet it is! Beautiful Wraparound!!
great pick up Dino. it's a who's who of some classic spidey team up's and I love paul Ryan's work so that is an added bonus,
I love these kind of compositions! A plenty of caracthers very well drawn! Huge congrats! This is something I definetely miss in my collection! I feel sane envy!!!
Memorable cover. Congrats!
Amazing indeed. Congratulations!
That's a lmarvelous piece of marvel magic!
Amazing Dino! Love the Daredevil! (and entire cover)!
Mic Drop! Nuff Said!
Great looking index cover Dino!!!!
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.
Congrats!! Beautiful piece
Incredible cover jam-packed with superheroes! Another gem Dino!
Stunner! Major congrats Dino - you are curating one of my favorite comic art collections out there. Thanks for sharing and taking us along on this epic journey!
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.
Beautiful art and such an amazing run of stories.....
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!
These index covere were wonderful for the multitude of heroes portrayed.
