On sale September 16, the highly anticipated milestone issue, destined to take its place in comic book history, delivers both a major turning point for Joe Kelly’s run and an incredible lineup of anniversary stories celebrating Spider-Man’s legacy. As fans have been buzzing about online, the landmark issue will feature two main covers, one from each of the current run’s lead artists.
Spider-Man #1000 News:
- Opinion: Amazing Spider-Man #1000 Controversy
- The Lead UpTo The Amazing Spider-Man #1000 Ramps Up This June
- Marvel Releases Details And Variants For September’s Amazing Spider-Man #1000
Legendary artist John Romita Jr. joins acclaimed illustrator Paolo Rivera for a stunning painted cover, while modern superstar Pepe Larraz delivers a striking traditional piece.
Both artists are also contributing variant covers for the issue.
Editor Nick Lowe explained:
“Our announcement of the added Pepe Larraz cover seems to have been misunderstood. In addition to John Romita Jr. and Paolo Rivera’s jam cover, we also wanted to highlight the ‘#1000’ more concretely, hence Pepe’s cover with color artist Marte Gracia.
Our goal is to bring as many legendary Spider-Man artists together for this monumental celebration.”
