Cover of The Week: Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1, No. 124

Like many comics fans, I suspect, I was introduced to this issue through the 45 rpm book/record by Power Records. What a pleasant shock to my young mind to find out (years later) that it was actually a REAL comic book!

The older I got, the more I appreciated the actual composition of the cover, rather than just the part of my childhood it had come to represent. The drama, punctuated by the classic Marvel-esque dialogue, was and still is primarily due to the dazzling pencils of John Romita, Sr. Don't take my word for it..., click the pic to take a closer look.

Speaking of Power Records, fans of those 45 rpm treasures should check here and here for remembrances of such goofy goodness!
