There are just a few hours left in this high priced ebay auction. The seller has the original artwork from the Spectacular Spider-Man magazine from the 1960s. This is the cover and a Romita classic! I didn’t know he did two versions of the cover. It seems Stan Lee didnt’ like the odd perspective on the black and white one and went with the now famous cover.
So would you all pay this much for the art?

Gotta be honest, even if I had more money than bith “Bruce Wayne” & “Tony Stark” put together I wouldn’t spend this much money on any valubale thing no matter how rare it is, not even if it is a Spidey thing
This much money could be used for real good stuff, maybe I’ll spend it if the auction was for charity, and is held by trusted auctioners and they are very true to their word
who has money for that? especially in todays economy.
IT’S OVER 9000!
Since I’m a spidey-fool I probably would, but I cant do to the fucked up economy!!!
I managed to clone some money so I’m placing a bid now…
I would pay at the very most 5,000 bucks for those.
(Sorry, it was 8.0, not 8.8, but still…)
In a seperate auction, I found an 8.8 graded copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 for the paltry sum of $54,000. So for them to try to get nearly twice as much for ANY original artwork (even from JRSR, arguably the greatest Spidey artist ever), is insane!
Would I pay lots of money for a JR piece? Hell yeah I would.
90,000 clams? Hell no, I wouldn’t.
That is pretty neat, but $90,000 is ludicrous, I am not surprised there’s no bids. He should have started the auction at a buck and let the market decide.
Another thought, why would Spidey crawl across the cornice of a building. Wouldn’t it be easier to just walk?
If I were a rich man with no financial worries, while I wouldn’t pay for this, I would love to commission some original Romita, Sr. art. Unfortunately, (1) I am not nor likely to be rich and (2) while I am not sure, I would suspect that Sr. is at the age where he doesn’t do commissions anymore…
Well, now that I have a scan of it… nothing…
