Bronze-Age Spideys 12 12

[Spider-Variant]

Here's something I picked up a few months back. I've been looking for one with the sticker for a while and lucked out at a LCS in CT. This is the All Detergent giveaway issue of Amazing Spider-Man #184.

Does anyone know for certain who did the cover art for Spectacular Spider-man #6?

 

According to the CGC notes on this copy, it's Al Milgrom:

CLink Copy

 

According to the CGC notes on this copy, it's JR Sr.:

Pedigree Copy

 

According to the notes at SpiderFan.org, it's Ross Andru.

Along with #4, this is one of only two issues from 1-100 that I've never owned a copy of, so I can't check for a discretely placed signature on the cover. If I was to guess, I'd say it looks more like Milgrom's work. But then again, Andru worked on the interior art, so he might have done the cover too...

 

Any thoughts?

Al Milgrom did that cover on Spec 6,

If so, that's probably the best work ever by Milgrom. I'd bet on John Romita, as that looks too detailed for Milgrom and that CGC issue that lists JR Sr is the newer slab.

 

If not, it's probably just breakdowns by AM and JR did the real finish.

[Samruby]

Never really liked that cover myself...Not nearly as nice as #7 and 8 as far as Morbius covers go.

 

The Grand Comics Database also has the following blurb:

 

Indexer notes: Cover art credit confirmed 2006 by Al Milgrom and added by Steven Tice.

 

Cannot find any definitive ink credits.

 

That issue is also the "imfamous" MTU #3 reprint issue,

Thanks guys. :hail:

 

I'm updating the spreadsheet I use for tracking my Spider-man collection (and the holes in it) with the art / writing credits. I'll mark Milgrom down as cover artist for this issue.

Definatelly looks more Milgrom than Romita.

Found another CGC graded copy that lists Milgrom as the cover artist.

 

eBay copy

 

Strangely enough, when I did a certification lookup on the JR Sr. copy, the serial number returned Milgrom as cover artist as well. There must have been a typo on the label of that book. I think that makes it pretty definitive...

Very nice books Spider-manonTilt! ASM #111 must be a tough book with that cover. I don't really have much in the way of Spideys. I am just a simple mid grade X-men and TOS guy right now. But I do have a few Spideys to show off!
