In new Marvel Comics cover art, Spider-Man's silver Spider-Armor returns as the web-slinger sports his bulky suit in a new variant for Hulk #10. As part of Spider-Man's 60th-anniversary celebrations at Marvel Comics, Spider-Man-starring covers honoring his history will appear on different Marvel Comics titles from August to October. In September, readers can pick up a variant cover featuring Spider-Man's Spider-Armor, as the web-slinger trades in his usual costume for the classic look.

To celebrate Spider-Man's first appearance in the pages of Marvel Comics in Amazing Fantasy #15 back in 1962, the publisher is releasing a series of Beyond Amazing variant covers celebrating some of the most iconic moments and looks for the web-slinger. Included among the new cover arts is a piece featuring every Peter Parker ever, one that celebrates his fellow Spider-Verse heroes Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen, and another where Spider-Man faces off against Venom. One of the more surprising Beyond Amazing cover art features the surprise return of Spider-Man's Spider-Armor costume, which brings back one of Parker's bulkiest looks ever.

Marvel Comics revealed a new variant cover art by Ej Su as part of the Beyond Amazing celebrations for Spider-Man's 60th anniversary. The cover art, which will appear on Hulk #10, features the return of Spider-Man's first Spider-Armor. The costume first appeared in Web of Spider-Man #100 by Terry Kavanagh and Alex Saviuk, as Spider-Man built the armor to take on the New Enforcers. While the silver armor looked cool, it ultimately proved ineffective, as it was quickly destroyed in the ensuing fight with the group of villains. However, the armor's design remains iconic, which is why nearly 30 years after it debuts, Spider-Man's Spider-Armor is back.

While the Spider-Armor MK I was largely a failure, it would inspire future armors that upgraded Spider-Man's costume in a big way. Spider-Man's MK II Spider-Armor would help him fight back after temporarily losing his Spider-Senses. The MK III version was essentially Spider-Man's Sinister Six-Busting armor. Peter Parker's future armors would continue to build on his past ones, including the bulky Spider-Armor he first wore.

While Marvel Comics is unlikely to ever feature Spider-Man back in his original Spider-Armor again, it's a nice touch to have the armored costume return for the Beyond Amazing celebrations of the character's 60th anniversary. The first Spider-Armor shows how far Spider-Man has come as not only a hero but as an inventor - for better or worse, it's an important part of the web-slingers history. Readers can pick up the Spider-Man's armored variant cover art by Ej Su when Hulk #10 arrives in comic book stores and online retailers in September.
