John Romita, Sr. Draws Variant Cover for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #600
by E. Christopher Clark | Tuesday, June 30, 2009
John Romita, Sr., one of the most important Amazing Spider-Man artists of all time, is returning to draw a variant cover for #600. Newsarama has the full version, and it’s definitely a sweet piece. A commenter over there was trying to poop on it, saying “this cover looks str8 out of the 1970’s,” obviously not understanding that that’s the fucking point, but I ain’t letting that get me down. Romita, Sr. still has it, in my opinion. What about you?

Seems to me, if you can’t spell straight correctly, your opinion is invalidated. But maybe I’m just being a curmudgeon.

Romita Sr and Jr are terrific artists. Romita Sr’s version of MJ is one of my personal favs, the dude can draw…
E. Christopher Clark says:
The first appearance remains the iconic image for me. Although this Adam Hughes version of the original Romita image ain’t bad either.
Derek says:
Romita Sr. is THE man. MacFarlane has nothing on him. Romita Sr’s is the iconic interpretation of the character. Period.
The fact that it’s straight out of the 70’s is, indeed, the point.
Look no further than some of these Amazing (pun intended) covers:
