Oooooo....  a kinda big one!  How did it take them 86 issues to pair up spider-themed people?  At least it happened!  We finally get the Black Widow in ASM #86!  Pretty cool cover, although it would have been nice to actually see Natasha and not just an outline of her.  I mean, they do spoil who we're talking about on the cover.  All good, I still dig it.

Just noticed the building line lower left FC looks initially like a crease, it's such a scant line.  Probably had a few people running to there reference copies to double check before purchasing...LOL

This was the first pre-100 ASM issue I ever acquired, in the back issue bin at the local flea market in the late '80s. Still have the same copy too!

I'm a fan of this cover.  We get Peter's nearly whole crew with the ladies, of course, and a nice big Spidey too!  When I met John Romita I looked for a book to take to get signed for a friend and this was the cover I picked.  It may have been a Marvel Tales printing, but still.  Amazing Spider-Man #87:

So is this the 2nd cover appearance for both MJ and Gwen?

I kinda didn't realize that until I went to post this either.  We'll see Gwen again later on this week, I honestly don't recall the next time we see MJ on a cover.  It may not be even in ASM.  

EDITS:  Ok, we see a tiny bit of her face in #106 but it hardly counts.  I'm gonna look for something more substantial. 

Edit 2:  Face on 121, 135, and she's in trouble on #137 but certainly isn't front and center.  Later on #178 and then #243.  Somewhere around there, or eventually, we get Ann. #19.

127 also, and not just her face on that one.
