Check out this exceptional 1977 Amazing Spider-Man semi-splash page which was penciled by the great Ross Andru, and inked by the great Mike Esposito, from the story titled "Confrontation” in which J. Jonah Jameson confronts Peter about being Spider-Man. This stunning page features a dynamic action sequence with Spider-Man, IN COSTUME, in almost every panel, as he leaps out of the page at the reader. Making a CAMEO (in the only panel without Spidey) is none other than STAN LEE himself. You can almost hear his trademark voice as he quips: ‘Well he’s not exactly Vera Valiant son—but I guess he’ll do’. This page is in great shape with almost no whiteout and some small cropping of the borders. This in no way affects the drawn art portion of the page. Don’t miss this great opportunity to own a VERY HARD to find Ross Andru 1977 "AMAZING" SPIDER-MAN action packed semi-splash page!
