Here’s Harry Rosenbaum’s cover painting to SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN black and white magazine #1, done from a John Romita line drawing. This was released in 1968, the year Marvel momentarily tried to extend the boundaries of what comics could be. Romita told me years later that publisher Martin Goodman pulled the plug on the whole experiment based on no real evidence at all—he just didn’t have any faith in it or want to gamble money on it.
