I played around with the covers a little, removing some of the copy and focusing on the Daily Bugle front page.

    I wore the pages out on this one. One of the Top 10 Marvel Comics of the 80s. My introduction to Miller/Janson.

    Thanks for posting, I remember seeing this on the racks back in '81 like it was yesterday!

    I wish the "Bonus Feature" copy wasn't there, it detracts from the Daily Bugle front page.

    Hey J.A., I photoshopped a few images of the original for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

    it looks better without the text. funny how often they add unnecessary blurbs to cover art that can easily stand on its own.

    The first annual I ever picked up. Great artwork inside as well.
