Speaking of the black suit, we now come to the very first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man to feature Spidey in the original alien costume (its first actual appearance being in Secret Wars #8.)

This cover looks fantastic, with dusk in New York making for a fantastic background and it does a great job at conveying the uncertainty surrounding this new outfit through the civilians' expressions. In addition, this cover's artwork and tagline serve as a nice callback to Spider-Man's own first appearance back in Amazing Fantasy #15.
