The Grooviest Covers of All Time: Wings of the Vulture!

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! The latest cinematic revamp of Spider-Man hits the theaters today, and the thing that really has Ol' Groove curious is Michael Keaton's Vulture. Now, in the late 80s/early 90s, I thought Keaton made a great Batman ("eh" Bruce Wayne, but a great Batman). To think the world has turned in such a way that that same actor is now playing a winged villain in a Spidey movie is, to moi, mind-boggling. But hey, my mind is an easy thing to boggle. Anywho, I've made it a habit to stay away from previews, trailers, discussions, reviews, etc. of upcoming movies, so I don't know if Keaton is playing the Adrian Toomes Vulture, the Blackie Drago Vulture, or some other version (or combination thereof), but I am intrigued. What does all'a that have to do with Groovy Age comics? Nothin'. But these have a lot to do with our favorite subject: Vulture-centric covers from Groovy Age era issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Tales, and Spectacular Spider-Man! Art by Romita, Kane, Cockrum, Weiss, and a horde of inkers! Enjoy, baby!
