Description

So I finally have filled the spider shaped hole in my collection. I wanted an ASM piece for a very long time and wanted to find just the right one. This splash fits the bill perfectly as it has spidey in action swinging on his web, a great background with luscious inks and is solidly in the bronze age. As a fellow CAFer told me "Leonardi is an artist's artist." I couldn't agree more. Dave Simons on the inks did a great job here as well. Leonardi only worked on a handful of ASM books in the early 1980s and I'm privileged to get this prime example of his work on the book. I sold a bunch of pages to bring this piece into my collection and now that it has arrived I couldn't be happier. Originally published May 1982. Enjoy, and special thanks to Yoram for remembering my interest when time came to sell.

This ASM page is FANTASTIC! Also - it's well-worth tracking down a copy of THE COMICS JOURNAL #75 (Sept. 1982). This issue features an article written by Jan Strnad titled "My Brilliant Career at Marvel" in which he details the torturous behind-the-scenes creation of this issue.

A beautiful page with silky smooth finishes. Looking at Leonardi's art here and on the first issues of Spider-Man 2099, it becomes very difficult to understand why he was never chosen as a regular and long running artist on the Amazing Spider-Man. Rick is a true talent that stands with the best. Big congrats!

Love the details including the lit swoosh effect of his swinging right foot.A really sinister and inviting splash.
