I started my version with only minor changes planned. On the original, there is no spider on Spider-Man's costume, so I added it crawling across the logo. I changed the wording a bit.
Sharp-eyed readers will notice that there is no Human Torch on my version. I never drew one I truly liked, and, overall, the cover was feeling too close to the original. I saw no reason to continue working on it. If I'm not liking what I'm doing, I shouldn't expect anyone else to like it either.Okay, on a tangent, here comes the slightly interesting part...
I was flipping through Marvel Treasury Edition #1 from 1974.
On the inside back cover, it has reproductions of "famous" Spider-Man covers. It includes Strange Tales Annual #2.
However, it has extra dialog included!
It's a pretty crowded cover, so the decision must have been made to remove the word balloons. The file copy used on the Treasury page obviously doesn't reflect that.And that, my friends, is slightly interesting.

Those logo colors are hilarious.
Great touch with the spider.
How about a some smoking broken webs in the shape of where the torch had been?
Love it!
A Torch-shaped hole is pretty funny.
Ultimately, I couldn't come up with anything that amused me more than the original did, so I moved on...
Shouldn't you be busy drawing a Tigra cover?
This is perfect but I don't see any rare in these stories, actually I think they're perfect because they're a little bit more bizarre.
