The greatest Marvel super hero of all celebrates his 600th issue with the biggest all-original issue of Amazing Spider-Man EVER! This one’s got it all! The return of Doctor Octopus, Daredevil, a wedding you never predicted, and the return of one of the most important people in Peter Parker’s life in a giant-sized lead story by Dan Slott and John Romita Jr. Doc’s back in town, but it’s only a prelude to darker days ahead as Spidey unknowingly prepares for a gauntlet he can’t even see coming. On top of all that, witness the return of one of Spider-man’s creators, Smilin’ Stan Lee (along with Masticatin’ Marcos Martin) as he presents a story of unbridled passion, drama and angst as Spidey reflects over his many, many years of adventures. But that ain’t all…as the rest of the Spidey Web-Heads bring you several short features showcasing some rarely explored aspects of both Spidey and Pete’s life, drawn by some of the greatest artists in comics. Plus, several other surprises and NO REPRINTS! 104 pages of goodness brought to you by some of the best creators that have ever worked on Spidey!
Ask for it at your local comic shop!
I did a short story, and no, I can’t show you any art.

Congratulations on being a part of a milestone issue.
Can’t wait to see the art!
Luckily I did order this last month — just as well, as I don’t recall seeing your name in the Previews blurb. I flagged it cos Stan the Man is in there, and I’ll buy anything with his name on. Face front, and true believers rejoice!
I didn’t even realize it was already solicited, which shows you how much I pay attention. And I notice in some blurbs, I am listed only as an inker!
But I penciled and inked a story.
I am very happy! I haven’t worked on Amazing Spiderman since what, 1990?
I am very happy!
So am I. Spider-Man is my favorite super-hero and you’re one of my favorite illustrators. I loved the artwork you did for the first (and only) Friendly Neighorhood Spider-Man Annual. Not every artist “gets” Spider-Man, but you nailed it with a very nice Ditko-esque rendition.
Looks like I’ll need to pick this up. Can you tell us who the writer for your story was?
Mark Waid! I am so happy, I haven’t worked with him since 1994 on Valor!
