Description

WoooooooHooooooo!
First piece by the incomparable Gabriele Dell'Otto!
First Black Suit Spider-Man cover!

Well, I spent more than I planned and sold off a few cool pieces as a result but it was absolutely worth it. Up close & in person it looks as bad ass as I had hoped and then some. It is jaw dropping!

The art nearly jumps off the page. It's amazing what he was able to create, essentially applying 2 colors. The grays & whites really pop across the content. From the webs, to the chest emblem, to the little stretches in the costume... All the true black you see is just the canvas. His use of negative space is so frickin' good. There is a depth to the whole thing that I can't really describe well and the pictures don't quite do it justice.

Other Details/Notes:
Published as two variant covers, one with the title/logos and another without. It also appears that they rotated the image counter clockwise a few degrees and moved the signature tighter to Spidey.

I decided to frame it w/out attempting to rotate the canvas and recreate the published angle. Will post a picture once I get it back.

The fact that Gabe can draw such an amazing blacked-out character on solid black paper is a testament to his skill!

He was able to produce so many shades of black!  It's crazy how good he is.

So great in how the suit blends into the darkness and also stands out in front of it.  The strands of webbing also add another layer of depth behind him.

Black-suit Spidey!!!  Oh man, this must be SOOOO jaw-dropping in person!  You get a great sense of the artristry from the scan, but I know those special effects you are talking about pop so much more when you can hold it in your hands.  Gorgeous cover, and major congrats!

Outstanding!  So cool how Gab did black costumed Spidey ON a black art board!  Literailly drawing in white, and the textures he exhibits in doing it?!  Must be a real sight in person.  Or unreal sight :)  Big congrats, Brian!
