Many thanks to the artist (whose name I could not find for the life of me despite the picture’s signature) for this awesome rendering of the Wall Crawler for the cover of this Bronze Age paperback!

Just found this issue again, oh the good memories
I like how twisted and disturbed Pete looks here, as if the burden of being Spider-Man drives him to the brink of madness.
I’ve actually got a first edition of this book in my library, with the jacket protected by a mylar cover. Took me a while to hunt down a nice copy, but I had to get it for the cover artwork alone. The colors really pop, and I’m a sucker for the iconic Peter Parker-shirt rip to reveal the costume shot.
I remember my library had this book when I was a kid! I loved it!
Yep, Bob Larkin. Search on Google and you’ll find some other great Spidey paintings he did.
It’s a great piece, Don. The artist who did this beautiful work is Bob Larkin.
That is a beautiful picture. It should be a framed and hanged on a wall:)
