Marvel is gearing up for a major milestone with Amazing Spider-Man #1000, and it all starts this September with issue #11, the 975th in the series. To celebrate the countdown, superstar artist Lee Bermejo will be creating a special run of Amazing Visions variant covers, beginning with issue #11 and continuing through to #36, which will be the historic 1000th issue.
Bermejo’s 25 covers will highlight some of the most iconic and defining moments in Spider-Man’s history — from his origin story to major showdowns with his greatest foes. Known for his hyper-detailed, realistic style, Bermejo brings a grounded, cinematic energy to Spidey’s past, present, and future.
“I always wanted Spider-Man to feel real,” Bermejo said. “Even as I got lost in the fantasy of it all, I still imagined how his tech worked or how his costume fit. With these covers, I get to reimagine key moments through my lens while honoring the work of all the creators who made these stories timeless.”
Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe added, “Lee Bermejo has that rare ability to make something familiar feel completely new. His work is the perfect way to celebrate the lead-up to issue #1000.”
One might assume the covers will add up to a story in itself, as Bermejo told us with his Batman covers that were reprinted in a single issue.
The first three Amazing Visions variant covers will appear on:
-
Amazing Spider-Man #11 – On Sale 9/3
-
Amazing Spider-Man #12 – On Sale 9/17
-
Amazing Spider-Man #13 – On Sale 10/1
Each issue will feature both standard and virgin variant editions by Bermejo. More covers will be revealed as the anniversary approaches. For updates, head to Marvel.com.

New York, NY— June 24, 2025 — This September, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #11, part of Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz and John Romita Jr.’s hit current run, is the milestone 975th issue of Amazing Spider-Man, kicking off the countdown to the titles next monumental milestone—AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000! To help celebrate, superstar artist Lee Bermejo will draw a variant cover for each issue of Amazing Spider-Man starting with #11 and ending with next year’s 1000th issue, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #36. The 25 AMAZING VISIONS VARIANT COVERS will depict key events in Spider-Man history, starting with his groundbreaking origin and first encounters with his most iconic supervillains!
Award-winning and Eisner nominated artist Lee Bermejo is an industry standout, acclaimed for his hyper-detailed, breathtaking style. See him take on Spider-Man’s past, present and future by spotlighting the hero’s greatest stories, from his foundational adventures to modern classics. Unfolding over the next year, it’s the perfect way to herald the upcoming landmark moment in Spider-Man’s legacy, the historic 1000th issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!
“Even as a kid, I could never detach some sense of realism from the way I thought of Spider-Man,” Bermejo explained. “I always wanted to know how his web shooters worked and why you could never see the line where the mask attached to the costume while still totally being able to lose myself in the fantasy of a teenager bitten by a radioactive spider who would walk up walls and lift cars. My artistic vision has always been to interpret Spidey in a grounded way without losing the spectacle and sense of ‘amazing fantasy’. I’m beyond thrilled to be able to show readers important moments of his history through my lens leading up to the landmark issue #1000 of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, while still respecting the important legacy that so many creators I love contributed to through the years.”
“There are rare artists who can take something we’ve seen a million times and somehow make it seem revolutionary. Lee Bermejo is one of those artists,” says Spider-Editor Nick Lowe. “We’ve been looking for ways to celebrate the lead-up to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000, and having Lee Bermejo take on 25 of the most important moments in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN history seemed like a heck of a way to do so!”
