Description

I know, why didn't I ask for Daredevil like everyone else? At the time, Miller was of course burning up the stands with his run on Daredevil, but he'd also done some Spiderman stories, and I was a bigger Spidey fan than DD. I can't remember if he signed it upside down by accident, or if he intended the drawing to be viewed that way, but I prefer looking at it upright, which is why the signature is the way it is in the scan.

I kick myself now that I didn't buy any original DD pages at the show, but also in attendance were John Byrne and Terry Austin, and I'd already blown my extremely limited budget picking up 2 X-Men pages, as well as a couple of Jim Starlin sketches. If the car had run out of gas on the way home we'd have been screwed; I don't think I had even pocket change to call my own when we left the show!

Great story and great art. There is nothing like the thrill of holding an original artwork by Miller. You really have a wonderful piece of art here.

I think it's far better that you got Spider-Man BECAUSE everyone else was getting DD! Not that the DD pieces aren't great, but it's nice to see something different, especially as terrific as this. And that's another cool thing about this drawing; there is no wrong direction to display this! Excellent!

Based on the signature I think your picture is upside down! I love that you got Spidey INSTEAD of Daredevil!
