Spider-Man's 60th-anniversary celebration just keeps getting bigger. Starting in August, artists from across the comics industry will participate in the 'Beyond Amazing' variant cover program, with covers celebrating every aspect of the Spidey mythos gracing Marvel's biggest ongoing titles (regardless of their connection to our favorite Wall-Crawler).

Marvel has announced 20 of these Spider-Man variant covers, which feature key moments from the character's publishing history and on-screen moments, both animated and live-action, as well as in video games.

Some of the covers also seem to pay homage to famous Marvel covers of the past. 

Here's a look at all 20 covers:
