I bought my first page of original art as a young teenager, which means I've wanted a John Romita Gwen Stacy page since that time. Half a lifetime later, here it is, at last! Thanks again to a gracious benefactor for the monumental assist on this.

Sharp-eyed viewers may notice that this page also features the very first instance of Natasha squeezing into her trademark skintight black costume, raising the coolness quotient of the art from merely awesome to stupefyingly epic... in my fevered imagination, at least!

“The Black Widow’s costume was brought about in an odd way. I had been asking Stan about doing a Miss Fury story, perhaps leading to her own title, but he wasn’t sure. Tarpe Mills’ heroine was another childhood favorite of mine, and Stan had published some comics with Miss Fury in the pre-Marvel days. He didn’t want to, but he did like the costume…”

Your tractor beam is strong to suck these away from the gravitational pull of Planet Burkey. This is a key page. Congrats!!

The greatness of Spider-Man was how the personal life of Peter Parker was just as interesting as the Spider-Man heroics. Beautiful page... congrats!

Simply amazing addition to your incredible Black Widow collection. Doesn't get any better than this one. The first page of her changing into her new costume!!! Wow!!! If you wake up someday and realize that Natasha isn't the most spectacular female creation in the Marvel Universe and want to part with it, please let me know.

Awesome page. Out with the dated fishnets and in with the slinky new black lycra.

Mooney's inks over Romita's pencils are about as sweet as they get. And speaking of sweet, that last panel?

Is it just me or is the Romita/Mooney Black Widow the hottest? Somehow she looks her bust, err... I mean best in the pages of this book. Congrats.

Off the charts is right, this page is in the stratosphere of coolness. Baller page, Drake, congrats!

What a page! Pete, Gwen, and the Black Widow in her new outfit. (But as nice as that is, I still like her fishnet ensemble better.) This is when comics were comics, and what a great time to be a comic book reader.

Excellent Spider-Man page! Watching Peter Parker struggle with his personal troubles may be more fun than watching Spidey deal with his. Congrats!

I would say you have squeezed her in your fevered imagination over the years.

Holy Smokes! What an amazing Amazing Spider-Man page! I love pages about Peter and his personal problems as much as the ones about his exploits as Spider-Man. And to have a page that includes Gwen Stacey...Well! Beautifully drawn scenes by Romita throughout with nice inks by Jim Mooney. Then, to top it all off, there's that killer final panel with the Black Widow! Talk about the cherry topping the Sundae! Love it!
