Synopsis for "Chaos at the Coffee Bean!"

Reprint of the 2nd story from
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #11
Peter and Mary Jane are out on a date when they happen by their old haunt, the Coffee Bean. They happen to show up on a night when up-and-coming musician Paul Cassidy is playing a gig. The performance is interrupted by the arrival of a gun-toting thief who demands everyone turn over their valuables. Paul tries to be a hero and is taken "hostage," but upon leaving the Coffee Bean, we learn that Paul is in league with the thief. Peter sneaks out and changes into Spider-Man and goes after the crooks. However, when he returns back to the Coffee Bean as Peter Parker, he finds Mary Jane is angry at him for leaving her behind to fend off sleazeballs who are trying to pick her up. The angry MJ leaves Peter, who once again chalks up his bad luck to the whole experience.

Solicit Synopsis

Thirty years ago, a young John Romita Jr. walked into the Marvel Comics offices, looking for work as an artist. Despite his impressive legacy as the son of famed Spider-Man artist John Romita Sr., Romita Jr. faced a difficult entry into the intensively competitive field. But through the years, Romita Jr. proved without a doubt he possessed the rare skill, creativity and dedication to be a successful professional. Crafting a historic career that places him among the industry's elite talents, he has illustrated nearly every Marvel character - from Spider-Man to the X-Men. In celebration of Romita Jr.'s illustrious body of work, this keepsake edition features a brand new story written by Neil Gaiman, an all-new interview with the acclaimed artist, a gallery of his most memorable covers and pinups, rare sketches, a comprehensive chronology, testimonials and congratulations from fellow writers and artists, and more! Also including Romita Jr.'s first Marvel work from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #11!
