Is this all of them? Because I'd swear I have a cover with the Spider-Signal on it that isn't included here. I'll check. Awesome as usual, Bully!

It turns out that the first one I thought of, I totally misremembered. I knew "Amazing Spider-Man" 247 was lit from above, but it's got Spider-Man's shadow and not the Spider-Signal. And now I remember that it was bought for me in the mid-1980s by a friend who called me from a used book store; he pitched the issue as "Spider-Man in the black costume" and when I got it and paid him for his trouble, I explained to him the difference between "dressing in black" and "casting a shadow on a cover."

I hadn't thought of that in years, so even though it was a long-buried memory of a friend being stupid and costing me a week's allowance, I gotta say "Thanks, Bully!"

I checked. ASM #243 has a big Spider-Man head on it, but it ain't a Spider-Signal. It's a pretty good issue, though, one of those with no real villain. Some of the drawings of Peter look odd, but I blame the inker (Dave Simons). #247 has Romita inks over Romita Jr. pencils, which sounds awesome, but I don't have that ish.

I like to think think that, had Brooke Shield's TV series been named Suddenly Super-Apes it would still be on today.

The ol' Spider-Signal's kinda wasted on Daredevil, isn't it?

Still, I had the issue with Jigsaw, and loved it: Spidey owns him to such an extent that Jigsy seems like a wuss every time he shows up now.
