I can honestly say that Batman's-Nutz-Fan has not been consider as a new name.

To keep it consistent we can go with Batmanz-Nutz-Fan

Didnt Burkey had it on hist site not too long ago?

And wasn't he hyping it here as an example of an unpublished cover that is worth more than the published cover?  What a coincidence!

I believe he was discussing 82 actually.  Electro cover by Severin IIRC (published) versus a relatively strong Romita (unpublished).   The unpublished was much more pleasing to the eye and was by the artist with the stronger market value generally, so Mike was simply expressing a reasonable opinion, in my view.

Okay, thanks.  I withdraw my comment.

How crazy high will this one go?  Unpublished cover which can be hard to predict.

As a Spidey guy who likes Romita art, I should be all over this, but I’m finding it difficult to feel excited about this cover, because:

1. Um, it’s the Kangaroo.  Ohhhh, ahhhh, lame-o.

2. Spidey’s back is facing the reader, a deterrent for me.

3. It’s just a normal looking guy wanting to jump on (over?) Spidey.  No super villain costume, no death-ray or otherwise perilous contraptions to add to the frenzy and danger of the moment.  Just...YAWN 😴

The top half of this 81 unpub cover is all stat...... if you look closely at scan you can see the razor cut....everything below that razor cut is drawn art...everything above is stat.

Thanks for the additional info, Mike. So now there's 4 solid reasons why I'm not 'feeling' this cover.
