Unused Scarlet Spider Cover Found

1. I saved the unused image

2. I like the one on the book itself. The unused one is neat, but the Amazing Fantasy image gets reused a lot.

3. Nice cover but am glad they went with the one they did.

4. Got to love the classics. Looks great. It’s amazing how amist the controversy back then that the whole Ben stories got lost. Some of it is just great Spider-man.

   Never heard of Steven Butler but that’s a great homage.

5. Pretty much agree with everyone else that Ben needed his own iconic cover. AmFan15 covers have been overdone.

6. Love the actual cover. The unused one is drawn beautifully, but A) The AF15 variant has been done sooooo many times and B) it doesn’t fit Ben’s personality as a hero. As the Scarlet Spider Ben was always more of a “hide in the shadows, do what must be done then get the heck out” hero.

7. I think they made the right choice on this one.

8. always wa ssurprsied they didnt do an af15 homage

9. Gotta agree with Dr Warren, AF15 variations are done to death. I like the one they went with. Even if the Scarlet Spider costume leaves a lot to be desired. Would have been a cool rare variant though.

10. i like the one they used, the amazing fantasy cover has been used in a lot of variations, even by the mid 90s

11. They’re both beautiful.

12. Both of them are nice covers, shame they couldn’t both find a home. Also a shame we’ve finished the Scarlet Spider era in the clone saga trades, or they could’ve used the unused one for one of them as a nice little Easter Egg.

13. That’s awesome!!

14. The unused one has more detail to it. I really dig it.

15. As much as I like the idea of hearkening back to Amazing Fantasy 15, I think the actual cover is a great image. They made the right choice.

16. Maybe they should have used the unused one as a variant. What are the odds of it being used for Spider-Island?
    I love the official cover a lot more

17. In before “hoodie”

18. They should have went with the unused one. more iconic
