Just when I thought the Entertainment Weekly cover couldn’t be topped, this comes along.

The Amazing Spider-Man #573 Variant Cover

In Amazing Spider-Man No. 573, which goes on sale Oct. 15, Mr. Colbert, above, appears alongside the red-and-blue wall-crawler in an eight-page story. The issue finds Mr. Colbert at a sparsely attended rally with J. Jonah Jameson, publisher of the fictional Daily Bugle, and scuffling with a villain called the Grizzly, one of Spider-Man’s deservedly lesser-known foes. [NYTimes.com]
