4. Amazing Spider-man v1 annual #14, 1980 - Dr. Doom conspires with Dormammu to unleash a new malevolent force. Meanwhile, Spider-man responds to Doctor Strange's mystical call for help. Frank Miller's cover radiates with power, contrasting the heroic figures with Dr. Doom's image in the background. Inside, the artist delivers one of his most exceptional works. Each page is carefully designed, with enough variations to maintain interest in this lengthy adventure. Miller employs two-page wide panels at certain intervals, dividing the story into more manageable segments. His splendid drawings often pay homage to Steve Ditko's early Dr. Strange issues (see interior page below). Miller's already formidable pencils are further enhanced by inker Tom Palmer. See the original cover for this issue. This is number 1 of 2 Amazing Spider-Man annual issues with Miller art and/or covers. This Marvel copper age superhero comic is also one of my Top 10 Miller comics. Find >this issue or more >Miller or >Amazing Spider-man issues on ebay.
