DescriptionWow! I can't believe it! Got this for my birthday back in May. This cover was drawn by John Romita Jr. and inked by John Romita Sr. and it was for the Dynamic Forces Amazing Spider-Man #1 Limited Edition, so I might be a little biased in how much I LOVE this. (not that you need any extra attention when it's JR Jr and Sr). I wasn't regularly collecting original art as I should have been when this was published, and it's been with the same owner ever since. Special thanks to Spencer Beck for diligently pursuing this for the last two years with the owner.This was the new series written by Howard Mackie with interiors by John Byrne! "Who the --? What the --? How the --? Who is he? His moves... they're somewhat like mine, but... more like he's flying than leaping." -- Peter Parker's thought about the new Spider-Man Synopsis for "Where r u Spider-Man???" The Human Torch flies into the sky to make a flaming message saying, "Where R U Spider-Man???". Meanwhile, at Peter's new apartment paid for by Mary Jane's modelling money, Peter sees the Torch's message. He thinks about his super hero days and turns his back on them thinking his new greatest responsibility is taking care of his family. Daredevil is on the streets fighting crime. He doesn't notice the message until the thug he's beating up tells him about it. He realizes that Spidey is gone because of the recent rise in street crimes. Across the city, Captain America sees the fading message. He respects Spider-Man's work and returns to the Avengers' training session. The whole team describes their view on Spider-Man and what he did. At the Daily Bugle, Jameson is still not satisfied with Spider-Man's disappearance. He wants to dig up every dirty secret Spider-Man has. Pete comes in with photos and hears Jameson's tirade. Suddenly, Robbie informs Betty and Peter of Scorpion's attack across town. Peter puts off the assignment and Betty goes to take the pictures herself. Scorpion is wreaking downtown trying to find someone. Scorpion gets frighteningly close to Brant but suddenly a red-and-blue clad Spider-Man jumps in and saves Betty! The Scorpion easily bests this Spider-Man and a part of a building falls on top of the hero. A little while later, Peter meets a Terry Kwan at TriCorp and is applying for a job. He is being shown around the building while he thinks about the fact that the Scorpion is someone else's problem now. Just then, when Peter is being shown another lab, the Scorpion attacks and blows up a wall. Peter goes around and takes people out of harm's way. Walt, an employee of TriCorp, is stuck under the Scorpion's attack. Peter goes over there and brings down a part of the building on the Scorpion's head. He is fazed for a moment till he realizes the pulsating light on his wrist BioScanner. As it turns out, he was looking for Peter himself. He is about to lay waste to Peter when suddenly, the NEW Spider-Man jumps in. The new Spider-Man is noticeably worse at fighting. Peter finds some cords and gets Javier, another TriCorp employee, to help set up some cords and a generator. Peter lassos Scorpion's arm and electrocutes him. Peter grabs the new Spidey by the arm and asks the hero who's under the mask. Spidey says, "I can't tell you that! That's why it's called a SECRET identity!" He swings off just as the CEO of TriCorp, Dr. Ted Twaki, asks to talk with Peter. Peter returns home. Aunt May asks him about his day and Peter says he got the job. They approach to hug and Aunt May says that Uncle Ben would be proud of him. A silhouette of Spidey appears as they both embrace. Social/Sharing |

Nice pairing of an incredibly influential set of Spider-Man artists, lovely to see them working together on this cover, and the signature just makes me smirk/giggle!

yeah, it's funny how they signed it like that. It's rare that they do when they work together.

Thanks Bill. Again, coming from you, it's really appreciated. The Romita's do rock, and they are some of my favorite covers when they work together.

Wonderful cover. I could never get over thinking that the Spidey signal came from his belt in the original run, and that he must be posing for this shot after planting it on the opposite wall. This got me wondering about it all over again.

Always liked this cover! You really can see both SR and JR in this Spidey image. Great classic pose, inks, and it's cool that they signed it "The Romitas" :) Definitely worthy of an ASM #1 cover. Congrats!

Oh man! I actually lost my acetate in our move. Congrats! I always loved that and felt the art and colors went perfect for that release!
