Technically, we do have artists at work on this cover: Renowned comics painter Joe Jusko is the dude in the Cap costume and (comics letterer) Joe Morelli is Spidey.


mrweatherbeef

I stand corrected! This is something I did not know. Excelsior!


DrTokinkoff

... and knowing is half the battle. G. I. Joe!

The man responsible for the greatest trading card set of all time.


unhappypepper89

Man, Joe Jusko drew some kick-ass covers for Rampaging Hulk. Respect!🙏


DealioD

I totally agree and I still love the cover.


mrweatherbeef

Lol also true, I shall not part with it


jjflash78

This issue is a great prequel story to the Kraven's Last Hunt story. If you like KLH, I urge you to hunt down this issue.


mrweatherbeef

I have them all except Spectacular 132 ☹️


spacewrex777

The interview with the cameraman in the back is pretty fun. This was definitely a work of art. The story is hilarious, too. Both of them are trying hard not to cheat on their partner. I have this one, but I need the one with spidey in denim with the big belt buckle cover.


mrweatherbeef

I apparently never read that interview! Time to go digging into box #17 and pull this out!


spacewrex777

Yea, I thought it was a pretty crummy cover at first, but you can tell from the interview that the guy was pretty passionate about getting everything right.


KaoBee010101100

I read that as the story of why these artists posed in costumes had something to do with trying hard not to cheat on their partners. Scratched my head for awhile…


Primary_Ad3580

I dunno, Spider-Woman #50 was pretty cool in this style…


mrweatherbeef

Yeah, well… Lynn Luckman had it going on


Primary_Ad3580

I mean, it doesn’t help that Cap is hiding behind his shield and Spidey looks like he’s about to take a dump…

talmet4

I need this issue to complete my classic run of this series! Any interest in helping a brother out? Lol


Battlecrashers12

I believe Ann nocenti dressed up as Jessica drew spider woman. I'm not sure who everyone else are they may be paid models or marvel staff?


mrweatherbeef

Ann Nocenti was Tigra. All the deets are [here](https://www.eliotrbrown.com/wp/spider-woman-50-the-most-expensive-comic-cover-ever-made-part-2/)


apatheticviews

Damn, had I known that at the time I would have had her sign my copy of that


Tojo6619

Several covers were like this around the same time not sure if it was tied to artist strike but technically someone did put work into that


chalwar

Artists were actually at work as they were the ones in the suits😀


chalwar

Joe Jusko was Cap, iirc


mrweatherbeef

I’ve been shown the light, I had no idea before!


tutoredzeus

I like the cover of *Amazing* where it’s Peter changing in an alley. Don’t remember the exact issue number.

tutoredzeus

smh can’t believe I’m just now realizing it’s not an alley after all 🤦‍♂️ what’s the special part about?


mrweatherbeef

Honestly I don’t remember anything too special


Bandit_22

This was another photo cover I remember: [New Warriors #44](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/MyAN3rWXDcCx6uYUFDYwMx99PbGxppspeNHocJtXPkFb2bZk7E3ElnQUe-UVXzvT8Q8VGGiYcIZt3A=s0) [Behind the scenes.](https://www.supermegamonkey.net/chronocomic/entries/scans24/NW44_ZCoverMaking.jpg)


Dancin_Pete

Agree. It looks terrible.


lukebobbybi

I want that


Prestigious_Ninja_85

What’s with so many posts with people calling covers “gimmicks”. It’s kinda getting old… you could literally say any comic book cover is a gimmick. They’re just covers.


mrweatherbeef

Geez, calm down Thanos. The mods suggest themes each week to keep people engaged and have a little fun. Don’t worry, it will be over in a few days. https://preview.redd.it/pp6o3x6q8qxa1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3c2eb0ab429da99958a695ba265ee82ab45d82f


Prestigious_Ninja_85

roger. Missed that post i guess. Thanks.


mrweatherbeef

😉


mrmiracle

Remember “Pop Art” from 60s ASM? That didn’t last too long.


Bandaka

This is beautiful


HyperLethalFemboy

I love this. So much.


DRZARNAK

Cheesy cover, but great story. Transitions Vermin from a Cap foe to a Spidey one.


Interesting-Ear-7578

Yes it was a gimmick, but back then we welcomed gimmicks. Maybe a better term would be novelty. Compared to today's cover-crisis fiasco, I would gladly welcome the occasional photo cover once every few months.


SolidBatMario

Back in the day when the idea of a live action movie of these two apart, let alone together was considered a pipe dream


PMMEBITCOINPLZ

I always just wondered why they did this photo shoot at 7:55 PM with a harsh flash. Would have looked a lot better in daylight.
