Copycat Cover: Spider-Man No More!

 
  
Clipped from On-line: It is considered one of the defining moments of the Marvel Universe: a dejected Peter Parker throwing his costume in the trash, attempting to leave his life as Spider-Man behind. The splash page of this pivotal moment from the classic 1967 tale written by Stan Lee and drawn by John Romita for Spider-Man #50, an issue famously titled "Spider-Man No More!" sold at auction on December 17, 2010 for $88,500.

Dork Note Part 1:  The original "Walking away with the costume in the trashcan" has since appeared several times as internal artwork like below...
Dork Note Part 2: As it appeared in Spider-Man 2. 

Dork Note Part 3: This splash page has become a copycat cover. See below...


Dork Note: Bonus Copycat Cover of the actual cover and not the splash page.

Actually, its Spider-Man 2 where that movie scene comes from. Aside from that, its a impressive collection of "tributes" to Spider-Man, No More

Hey don't forget Absolution #2's variant cover f/ Avatar Press. It's a good one.
