I hadn't seen the original art to this before, and maybe you haven't either - but now you have!

Perhaps to brighten it up and really make it pop, they should color the logo yellow.

How did you go about laying this image out, JB?

Love that cover, I remember how distinctly it stood out from everything else when I was browsing through the comics on my local newsagent's shelves. No way you could resist at least picking it up, if not buying it, based on the cover alone!
You may have come a long way with nighttime cityscapes JB, but you set the bar very high to begin with ;)

You have come a long way, JB. Still, that is one striking cover!

The cityscapes have come a long way, but as already said, this is an iconic image. Excellent artistic license on the feet!

It's very interesting to see the original art for this cover. I can see right through Spider-Man in places!
Oh, and JB has really come a long way with his nighttime cityscapes!

One of my favorite covers, along with the black and white Aurora cover from Alpha Flight.

A wonderful cover. And what's wonderful about just this reproduction of the original art, is that you gain some insights into how it was put together.
