Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #11

Mary Jane Watson takes center stage on this charming 2006 entry in Marvel's teen-romance series, her vibrant red hair and confident glance-over-the-shoulder perfectly capturing the series' breezy, shōjo-inspired energy. Surrounding her in thought-bubble portraits are Spider-Man, a smiling dark-haired boy, a bespectacled young man, and a surprised-looking blonde — a neat visual shorthand for the tangled social web at the heart of "The MJ Thing." Cover pencils by Takeshi Miyazawa and inks by Norman Lee give the whole composition a warm, inviting style that makes this one easy to pick up.
