Con, June 19-22 at the Pennsylvania Convention
Center, will receive a free copy of the limited-edition book at

books for grading and Signature Series.

colored version of Amazing Spider-Man #1.2 will be limited to 4,000 copies and
provided free at registration to all Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con VIP

Jones's
Amazing Spider-Man #1.2 follows the first six entries, Miracleman #1 and
Miracleman #2, both drawn by Eisner Award Hall of Famer Neal Adams for Wizard
World Portland Comic Con (Jan. 24-26) and New Orleans Comic Con (Feb. 7-9),
respectively; Wolverine #1, illustrated by noted cover artist Greg Horn, for
Wizard World Sacramento Comic Con (March 7-9); Daredevil #1 by Michael Golden
for Wizard World Louisville Comic Con (March 28-30); Wolverine & The X-Men
#1 by David Mack for Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con (April 4-6); and Hulk #1
by Mike Grell for Wizard World Minneapolis Comic Con (May 2-4). Artwork is also
complete for Amazing Spider-Man #1 by John Tyler Christopher for Wizard World
Atlanta Comic Con (May 30 - June 1).
"J.G.
Jones is one of the top-flight talents in the industry," says Marvel SVP, Sales
& Marketing David Gabriel. "His covers and interior work for Marvel and
other publishers have stood the test of time and we're thrilled he could
contribute a gorgeous variant cover to Amazing Spider-Man #1.2."
Jones
is always a big hit at Wizard World shows. His works include "Brian K. Vaughan's
Y: The Last Man," the "Villains United" series and Grant Morrison's "Marvel
Boy." Jones earned Eisner Award nominations in 2002 for "Codename: Knockout" and
"Transmetropolitan" and in 2006 for "Wanted."
"J.G.
is one of the top creators in the industry. His art on Spider-Man is absolutely
incredible," says John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO. "Once again, we are pleased
to have J.G. on hand to sign these limited edition books for the
fans."
J.
Jonah's Jameson's crusade against Spider-Man kicks into overdrive! He warned us!
He told us that kids might try to emulate Spider-Man! And he was RIGHT! Meet
CLASH, New York's newest menace. He may be Spidey's biggest fan, but he's about
to become one of his worst enemies. Wanted by the cops, turned away by the
Fantastic Four, his grades are slipping, and he still hasn't figured out this
whole crime-fighting-thing. Pete's not a hero... not yet... but he'll get there.
