DescriptionEd Hannigan is a brilliantly gifted artist responsible for designing and/or drawing hundreds of great covers for Marvel and DC in the 1970s and 80s. For this commission I asked Ed to take his original design for the cover to Batman # 381 (which Rick Hoberg drew the published version of) and substitute the Thing and Spider-Man in place of the two Dark Knights. My memory is a bit hazy, but I am pretty sure that Ed suggested changing the background to situate this encounter in the middle of the Baxter Building. As it turned out, such a scenario matches perfectly with a scene from Marvel Two in One Annual # 2 (by Jim Starlin and Joe Rubinstein) in which Spidey drops in unexpectedly on Ben in the Fantastic Four's headquarters.Bob McLeod is equally brilliant in his skills with the pen and brush. I was lucky enough to have Bob complete this drawing by adding inks and ink washes. The final result was better than I could have ever hoped for. Two great artists at the top of their games. This was a very early commission in my collection, but it remains a favorite to this day. Ed Hannigan completed the pencil portion of this commission in September 2003. Bob McLeod added his ink work in March 2004. Social/Sharing |
