I disagree about being a better image. I like the skinny bug like spidey better.

 

I think the beefier AF15 version just reflects the popularity of large, muscular superheroes during that era. What were some of the deeper conclusions students drew about the differences between society in 1962 and 2000?

Nice topic for class!

This deal gives me the creeps and this book keeps getting relisted and ended. Way to many red flags here. Enjoy!

Well, the students felt the stronger image was the Kirby cover from 1962 because it was intentional--there was a narrative present and, while Spidey was the focus, he wasn't the only thing present. Each part helped drive the story. Additionally, Spider-Man seemed more real--strong looking but still realistic. The modern picture had no background and simply had him posing as if to say "Damm! I'm a badazz!" He was portrayed with tons of muscles and shiny--as if he used body paint and then was sprayed with oil.

 

Their overall thoughts left them thinking we're much more shallow today as the only thing present in the modern picture was something that appealed to sex and violence; the other made you think and told a story.

art back then was strong.

As much as I love this copy, having seen it in person, it hammered at just about what it hammered at when it was first auctioned a few months ago. As beautiful as this book is, it seems that buyers can't get over that fold on the cover.
