DescriptionSweet large size pencil prelim page by the incomparable Gil Kane, featuring a real J.Jonah Jameson lookalike and the last panel has a silhouetted Spidey with six arms (yes, that happened!) swinging over the city with the Lizard in tow.Morbius, the Living Vampire, is also in this issue in his first story arc! Man, they packed the Merry Marvel Madness into this one! Kane was and remains one of the most expert and inspired draughtsmen in the history of comics. I love seeing the nuts and bolts of his workings-out on this incredible piece - the perspective, the anatomy, the backgrounds. This page is a master class in his techniques and thought processes in constructing a story. And it's 70s Spidey!! As good as a daVinci, any day. Social/Sharing |

DaVinci indeed! Kane prelims such as these are a sight to behold! I can’t help but think that one day treasures like these will be cherished as much as the finished product. Long live KANE!!!

Wow! I love this more than the finished page (which I well remember!). The mastery of camera movement here is just awesome and I love that he doesn't cheat his figure construction at all, even when he could in a few places. Damn, that's a find.

Agreed, Charles. Very little touches Kane it his purest. Kane is a Master and his prelims are a Masterclass.
