Written by David Michelinie and drawn by Todd McFarlane, the issue is the clearest demonstration of what the title became when a new generation of artists took it over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcFarlane's work here is the hinge of the whole story. His figures twist beyond anatomy, his inking is dense and restless, and the cover — Spider-Man at the centre, allies and enemies closing in — turns a conventional team-up into an exercise in visual energy. The aesthetic he established on these pages would go on to define the look of mainstream comics for the following decade, and it is on numbers like this one that the case rests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this copy apart is the quartet of signatures it carries: Stan Lee, creator of Spider-Man; Jim Steranko, whose graphic experimentation reshaped the language of the medium; John Romita, the artist who refined the character's silhouette for a generation; and McFarlane himself. Together they form a compressed history of Marvel's visual identity, from the Silver Age to the threshold of the 1990s — an unusual concentration of authorship on a single graded 9.6 example.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58053306909012,"sku":"401","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/401-1.png?v=1793382839","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/amazing-spider-man-323-signed-mcfarlane-lee-romita-steranko-cgc-9-6","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
