The Amazing Spider-Man #107 — VF/NM 9.0
April 1972 • Marvel Comics • Bronze Age Spider-Man • Romita-era classic
A quintessential early-’70s Spidey cover by John Romita — pure tension in motion, with Spider-Man bound in steel coils and lifted off the ground by Smythe’s mechanical nightmare. Bright green banner, clean action layout, and that red cover blurb promising “Spidey’s Greatest Triumph!” make this one of the great Romita-era newsstand hitters.
Inside, it’s the full showdown with Professor Smythe and his Spider-Slayer at full murderous efficiency. The story leans heavy into claustrophobia and brinkmanship as Peter is pushed to the absolute edge. Stan Lee scripting, Romita pencils, Giacoia inks — the classic Marvel assembly line firing on all cylinders. You also get period ads and Bullpen Bulletins that drip early-’70s Marvel personality. This is peak ASM in its natural habitat: sharp storytelling, dire stakes, and impossibly cool visuals.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (9.0 / VF-NM)
Sharp, vibrant cover with excellent color and strong original gloss. Corners tight with only minor handling wear. Spine is clean with light, barely noticeable stress; staples are secure, clean, and well placed. Interior pages are off-white to white, supple and crisp. Back cover is clean with minimal age toning. Outstanding eye appeal for a high-grade Bronze Age Spidey.
