But then again, I stopped buying superhero comics with art by anyone other than Richard Corben a long time ago, so I guess in that sense, it's not odd at all that I missed that Spider-Man cover... anyway, if you know which Spider-Man comic in particular had the Schiele-homage cover, please post the title and issue number, because I'd love to see it.

(at least he said 'with apologies to Schiele' on it) Ever see the Bill Sienkiewicz SPIDER-MAN cover where he nicked a Schiele pose? (at least he said ‘with apologies to Schiele’ on it)
