Ultra-cool! I'm sure it would've been a blast, had it been published

Quite the interesting historical piece. Jack's original Spiderman proposal was reported to have closely resembled this design. Tribute was recently paid by the makers of Spider-man, Far from Home, when they gave Peter the alter-ego "Night Monkey", using essentially this design. In sum, brilliant pick up!

What a great design. Even the King's unused ideas were super cool.

Classic Kirby foreshortening but are you sure that he inked it?

Really nice. And if you haven't had a chance to see it in person yet (don't know if you previewed or bid live at PIH), it's quite substantial and more impressive in person.
