Stephen Colbert Variant

After we brought you this story a while back, I was excited to see it picked-up by many larger outlets. Sadly, none of them linked to us - but all the same, it's pretty nifty.

Marvel is pleased to unveil the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #573 Colbert Variant, illustrated by Marvel EiC & superstar artist Joe Quesada, depicting the first team up between Spider-Man and Stephen Colbert!
