Oh his leg is just in the shade 😂

I see tan lines by the letter "M"

I like to think that leg is gangrenous, but then he finds an antidote in the utility belt.

Bat jammies!

Also, I actually had Bat-jammies very similar to those as a kid, and Superman ones too. They had a cape that attached with velcro at the shoulders. If my wife wouldn't divorce me over it, I'd consider having some adult ones made.

Well if you could find a way to incorporate it into sexy bedroom cosplay, she doesn’t need to know your real intentions.

I've always loved everything about this cover:

• The bold perspective as we look up to see Spidey falling toward us.
• A glimpse into our villain's personalities: Tarantula will put his back into throwing Spider-man off the bridge, but the slimy Jackal has to get in one last dirty kick.
• Gwen's clone standing passively on the bridge where she died, holding her coat closed against the wind.
• That gorgeous blue gradient that made this cover stand out from all the books around it.

I'm sure there were better covers in the Bronze Age, but this is my favorite.

Also this is a perfect cover to show off Gil Kane's strengths.  With his mask on, Spidey doesn't have any nostrils -- which is a good thing because otherwise Kane would make sure to force us to look directly up into them.

This one is on my very short list of 9.6 upgrades I still need.  I've basically given up on finding one that doesn't have any white showing along the spine, they all seem to have it.

In the days before CGC, I found this at my local comic shop from a small but pristine collection of some early Bronze.  There was also an ASM120 that later graded 9.8 without manipulation.

This would be my second choice.  Great reasons you articulate!  I remember buying this book back in the day and shortly there after started a 35 year run.  I do think that blue gradient is the favorite aspect of this cover.

Green Lantern 76, Conan 1, Superman 233, Batman 227 - none of these are Bronze??

Those Spidey covers from that era were amazing! 145 stands out to me for similar reasons, and I like so many from 120 up, especially 121 , 122, 134, 135, 141, 147 and of course 151!
