Source Significance Excerpt
But in 2006, I had an idea to ask John Romita if he would be willing to duplicate the exact pose which Rick Leonardi drew for the published ASM #282 center, but for john to draw Spider-man in his ORIGINAL COSTUME from the time John Romita was drawing Spider-Man, versus the black Spider-Man costume which was drawn for this cover. (Click the Red Link Above to see the published ASM #282 comic book to compare this incredible cover art to the published comic book) John Romita's attention to detail is beyond reproach, and he penciled and inked a PERFECT red and blue Spider-Man image right onto this cover stock board in 2006, which matches the black Spider-Man pose on the published comic book PERFECTLY. The actual Published border art has a date on the back of May 2nd 1985.
