Howdy all,
If you are reading this I’d like to thank you for taking the time to pop by. I’d also like to point out that this is part 3 of a 6 part piece on a batch of Spider-Man Original Comic Book Art I am happy to show off. I did not draw these. These are the original art boards to the published pages folks would see when they read the comic. If you’d like to read part’s 1 and 2, please pop by here and check back to see the rest of the bunch.

Yup yup yup. It’s another one of those “look what awesome art I just got” posts!!! These are from The Amazing Spider-Man Curse of the Man-Thing one shot that came out in I believe the spring. Artist Marco Fallia whips up a beauty of a Spider-Man and I fell in love with his style. Unfortunately for me as an OA collector, most of the work in the issue was done in a hybrid style meaning half digitally…mainly due to time constraints. But there were 6 pages done 100% traditionally and I pounced.
My art boner was totally activated when I found out these pages were available, I just want to state. Marco has some Marvel work under his belt, but nothing with Spidey so this is a rare and special find. Add to that some guest star appearances by The Lizard (& his alter ego Curt Conners), Captain America, and the main man…er uh…thing…Man-Thing!
Since there are 6 pages here plus some bonus stuff, I think I’m going to show off one each day so we can get good looks at each panel from each page.
Today’s page is page 24 and it’s a beauty.
Just three panels for this page but the first is jaw-droppingly beautiful with Spider & Dr. Ted Sallis (Man-Thing) trying to talk while on a purdy and I’m sure not so comfy web hammock.
All of this takes place in Ted’s psyche. Ted looks fairly sad here. This is obviously the weakest panel of the page.
Third and final shot is Spidey telling the Doc to snap the fuck outta it!!!
I love all the shading in this page. Absolutely a stunner when you are looking at it in person.
Here’s the published page for reference.
Part 4…coming soon to a hive blog near you!
