Description

Steven Butler is a name from my childhood and perhaps yours as well. I remember when he was the main artist on books like Silver Sable and Web of Spider-Man (during the Clone Saga). His style was a blend of the '90s aesthetic with the classic style of Spidey artists like Ross Andru and Alex Saviuk.

I contacted him through his Facebook page and inquired about an 11" x 17" Spider-Man commisison. I asked for Spidey in his traditional costume (with underarm wedding, of course!) swinging in front of the Daily Bugle building.

It took Steven about 2 weeks from the time I requested the commission to completion. I usually don't discuss prices in my Comic Art Fans posts, but I would be remiss if I did not mention that Steven only charged $200 for this 11" x 17" pen and ink commission with a full background. Steven is a very kind and professional guy and I highly recommend him to one and all.

Yes, I remember those Silvr Sable books very well. And yes, I agree stylistically he reminds me of Saviuk. Great Spidey piece. As I look at this, I can almost hear the theme song in my head.

Thank you for the comment, my friend. And now I have the theme song stuck in my head as well.

It's a clssic pose and it is super clean;y detailed like an Adams or Bradshaw Spider-Man. The background resembles the work he did when he did the series but is very tight in the illustration style.

That's a very astute point about the way Butler now draws backgrounds; thanks for the comment, Marcus!

Beautiful piece. I am a great fan of Butler's work and this doesn't dissapoint. Might be why I find myself going after the Silver Sable pages.

Cool Spidey commission! Of course a lot of us remember Steven Butler from his work on Silver Sable and Web of Spider-Man! How awesome that you commissioned him to do this piece! I love the end result--Very nice depth created to separate Spidey from the Daily Bugle behind him. Gorgeous piece!

Thank you for the comment, Bill! Steven did a very nice job on this commission and as you note, he created the illusion of depth very nicely. Your Spider-Man collection is a constant source of wonder to me and other collectors.

Has that great classic Bronze Age Spidey feel to it. Butler did a wonderful job with this!

Straight classic Spidey, swingin' right atcha, by one of our Spidey artists of the '90s! So much poured in to this 11x17 board at a killer price! I'm lucky to have nabbed a Spidey-centric commission as well. Congrats A K!

Thank you, my friend. I just saw your Butler piece and it's amazing! Or should I say spectacular? 😉

Beautiful commission, A K! There's gorgeous hatching all over this, and I'm -very- fond of the strong Romita, Sr. style of the mask. It must look absolutely -GREAT- in 11x17! Congrats on such a strong piece, at such a great price; it's awesome to have a Spidey from one of your favorites when you were younger!
