If you were granted a wish for one single page of comic book art-- only one
page (covers count, and spreads too), what would it be?

For me, it's the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #33.


(Statistical fact: posting your answer here will do nothing to diminish the
possibility of this wish scenario actually coming true!)

edit: revised so spreads count as one page.

…you could only have 1/2 of a double-page splash…

Mind a small note? That is a really STUPID rule.

Nothing would be more meaningful to me than the cover to Marvel Team-Up #68.

The wish is good for one page. How would you devise the rule on double-page
splashes?

I'd happily take this FANTASTIC FOUR cover drawn by our honorable host.



I believe I am correctly remembering that the original art has Jack Kirby next to
Stan Lee.

This page from the classic Fantastic Four (51) story would have to be my pick, although there are a few from that same issue I would be equally thrilled to own.  A lot of the weight of the issue seems to rest on it.

Obligatory "this is my first post on the forum."  Good to be here!

Count spreads as one page. That's usually how they're drawn.

Oh, and Owen, that may just be the greatest Fantastic Four story I've ever
read.

Cool. Revised rule: spreads count as one page.
If this changes anyone's posted answer, naturally, feel free.

My first comic!
