10 Amazing Comic Book Covers Marvel Wants You To Remember
8. Spider-Man #300
There have been some incredible Spider-Man covers over the years (With more than a couple landing on this list), but Todd McFarlane's work on The Amazing Spider-Man #300 is one of the most impactful and memorable.
To be fair, any McFarlane cover could be on this list... Spider-Man #1 almost made the cut, but issue 300 doesn't just feature a spectacular cover, it introduced Venom in his first full appearance and is one of the most important Spider-Man books published in the past 30 years.
Venom would go on to become one of Spider-Man's greatest foes, which is saying something seeing as his rogues' gallery was fully established long before this book was published. The character went on to star in his own series and landed a feature film in 2018.
There are two elements of this cover that make it stand out; the image of Spider-Man breaking out of the center circle denotes action and intensity while the repeated "300" in red over black lets you know exactly why this issue is important. Marvel traditionally makes a big deal of centennial issues, and their tricentennial issue of Amazing Spider-Man was no exception.
