Description

What can I say? This is just an absolute dream, when I think of inkers of John Romita Sr. naturally I think of Jim Mooney and Mike Esposito, both of which are sadly no longer with us...after that it falls to Joe Sinnott, Tom Palmer and of course the great Salvatore Buscema, who started at marvel inking over his brother on Silver Surfur 4.

This piece was a dream come true, the pencils of John were tonal and I had a great inner struggle on whether to ink or not. I felt that maybe a little of its personality might be taken away but the prospect of getting a piece by such a formidable Silver Age tandem was just too good to pass up. You be the judge.

Originally this was supposed to be a re-imagining of the ASM 600 cover with heads of the Sinister Six taken the place of spider-man's friends and acquaintances, there was a bit of a communication blip with Sal but the end results are just as spectacular going from a re-imagining to a bona fide cover recreation of one of my favorite modern Romita Sr covers!

My only regret is that this was not on an amazing spider-man blank cover.

Enjoy and sound off below!

Very impressive! Always great to see John Romita drawing Spider-Man, and Sal Buscema is one of my all time favorite artists. All in all, a really great commission.
