15 Greatest Amazing Spider-Man Covers

11. The Amazing Spider-Man #72

The Amazing Spider-Man #238
Marvel Comics

Publication Date: 10 May, 1969

Cover Artist: John Romita Sr.

Legendary Marvel artist John Romita Sr. makes is second solo appearance on this list with The Amazing Spider-Man #72, which has what is easily the best cover in the series to feature the Shocker. On this cover, we see the villain decimating Spider-Man's symbol on a wall, hitting it right between the eyes.

This image just pops off the page incredibly well, which is a result of the bright colors of both the symbol and the Shocker himself contrasting nicely against the black background.
