Got the original art cover and then spent more than 3 years finding a 9.8 copy of the book. Some info about the cover - and more:
Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Captain America appear together - at Times Square in New York - on this Jorge Molina cover. This is the first-ever Ultimates/Ultimate Spider-Man team up! With the nation at war, Spider-Man decides to become a member of the Ultimates and he will do anything it takes to earn the right.
In 2000, Marvel launched the Ultimate Universe, an alternative reality for a new century where its heroes were young and just starting their careers but in contemporary times with strong creators. The initial book was Ultimate Spider-Man starring a young Peter Parker. It was so successful, it virtually saved Marvel during the period they were coming out of bankruptcy. In 2002, Ultimate Captain America was introduced in Ultimates #1, and that too was incredibly successful, basically establishing the style and tone for the Marvel Cinematic Universe a decade later. In 2011, the decision was made to kill off Ultimate Peter Parker and replace him with a young character named Miles Morales, first introduced in Ultimate Comics Fallout #4 (2011). Miles proved popular and even survived the end of the Ultimate Universe in 2015's Secret Wars. He's now part of the traditional Marvel Universe, operating as a second Spider-Man along with "our" Peter Parker.
Jorge Molina has been a star artist at Marvel over the past decade, working on such titles as X-Force, Superior Spider-Man, Thor, and A-Force. Molina is the co-creator of A-Force. Recently, he's the the lead artist in Marvel's significant Star Wars line.
Born in 1984 in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, Jorge Molina showed a big passion in comics since an early age and dreamed of working on anything related to drawing super heroes. As he got older he started to realize it was just a kid’s dream and that he should probably do something more "reliable", but then he had the chance to study animation and from there he ended up in comics. Molina started working in the industry in 2006.
