The 9.8 WP Spidey #14 on Heritage is insane. Second only to the AF 15 9.6 IMO.  Any guesses on Hammer.  ?

I gotta know more about this!  Obviously these are the six John Romita character depictions from the cover of ASM #135 (right/left/left/right/left/right), but where did the other ones come from and who did them?  Was there a rejected Ross Andru cover?

No, nothing that mysterious Lou, it's just the UK Super Spider-Man cover, redrawn to accommodate the landscape format:

Not sure who the artist was, but they clearly thought it easier to completely redraw it as opposed to a cut and paste job.

Tis a cool thing, either way...

I actually prefer UK Gwen here. US Gwen always looked like she'd done something unpleasant to me, and was desperately trying to feign innocence.

UK May is having none of it of course, having clearly caught it...

The above compares some of the cast of ASM #121 to the UK reprint versions:

Again, redrawn, whereas the next issue was more faithfully portrayed:

Nice poster bonus inside for the Kangeroos:

Right, they had no choice if they wanted the art to cover the entire (larger) horizontal spread.  Thanks!

as roger waters said, "quiet desperation is the english way."
