December Double-Pager #13 - John Byrne's Amazing Spider-Man II

John Byrne's Amazing Spider-Man does not seem to be fondly remembered by a lot of people, art-wise, but I thought it was great.

And check out all the neat double-page spreads he had, like this one, featuring Peter and Mary Jane!



Pretty darn cool, no?

December Double-Pager #12 - John Byrne's Captain America

During their run on Captain America, Roger Stern and John Byrne created a classic issue that depicted the history of Captain America beautifully within a single issue of the title.

Here is a double spread from that issue.



Pretty darn cool, eh?

December Double-Pager #11 - Paul Ryan's Avengers

The issue (#329) itself may have been a bit slow (as it essentially was just the Avengers voting on who would be the new team of Avengers), but isn't this a neat two-page spread by Paul Ryan depicting the entire group of Avengers?

December Double-Pager #7 - Mark Bagley's Amazing Spider-Man

This was a bi-weekly storyline where, slowly but surely, characters were added, until you got the conglomeration of heroes below.



Nicely handled by Bagley, I think.

December Double-Pager #2 - John Byrne's Amazing Spider-Man

Check out this nifty double-pager from John Byrne's second issue of the second volume of Amazing Spider-Man.

The Spider-Man in this drawing is actually a disguised Spider-Woman, but the look is still mighty clever, design-wise.
