Description

This stunning original first-page splash from Captain Britain #34 is a dream piece for Spider-Man collectors, featuring a bold, full-body shot of the web-slinger mid-swing above a striking cityscape. With the Golden Gate Bridge towering in the background, this piece places Spidey in San Francisco, a rare and visually dynamic setting that makes it stand out from the usual New York-based pages.

Rendered in crisp, classic black-and-white by Howard Bender and Mike Esposito, this page captures everything fans love about Spider-Man: His agility, power, and the breathtaking motion that makes his web-swinging such an iconic visual. The detailed architecture adds depth, while the dramatic perspective pulls the viewer right into the action.

What makes this piece even more unique is its backstory. Created as a brand-new splash page for Marvel UK's reprint of an American comic, it was drawn by a New York-based Marvel artist, yet the original story’s creators were the only ones credited in publication, which was customary at Marvel UK. This quirk of comic history makes it a fascinating collectible, blending vintage British and American Marvel lore into one incredible piece of original art.

A perfect addition for any Spider-Man art collector, this first-page splash from Captain Britain #34 is an eye-catching, standalone piece that radiates energy and classic Bronze Age charm.

Love opening up a book and seeing a great splash page, sets the tone for the book. This Spidey art should get anyone in the mood for a good book! Thanks for sharing Ruben!

Thanks, CIB, but I'm not actually "sharing" it, but rather looking to sell it.
