    Calling Spider-Man fans

    megoknight did this custom of Peter Parker and he remembers seeing Peter in the leather jacket and yellow shirt but doesn't remember what issues it was from. Definitely vintage, not modern. I'm working on making a box for him and need to know where to look for a good image of this Parker look.

    Thanks! I'm sure someone will be able to point me in the right direction on what issues to look at.

    I'm thinking it was somewhere in abouts ASM #100-130 or so. I remember that particular look as well. Gil Kane and John Romita, I think...

        It's the Romita era. He used that alot.

        The yellow sweater started with Ditko, but it constantly changed. Stripes, checkered, vest, etc...

        It showed either the pace Ditko was moving at meant he didn't care for visual continuity, or he felt Peter had a closet full of yellow sweater variants. Like Einstein and his multiples of one suit. Peter would get up every morning, grab some blue pants and whichever sweater was in line.

        Say, was Pete a slacks man or a trousers guy?

          Maybe it's the solo 80s Spidey toons, but when I think of Peter Parker, he's in a yellow turtle neck, and denim jacket with jeans... which is the then modern interpretation of the Ditko blue suit and yellow sweater vest.

              ASM #136 above is from the Ross Andru era. I'm still seeing that outfit by Romita, or more likely Kane and Romita, which thanks to Jazzy Johnny's heavy inks, looks like a more dynamic Romita.

                Sorry I didn't see this sooner - it's ASM #143. Peter and Mary Jane's first kiss - the colors aren't great on this pic, but you get the idea

                I had my box guy "tweek" the artwork for the jacket for my custom...that's why you are thinking fur collar Lee.



                Here's the custom I made utilizing that artwork...
