As with so many other artists that I don�t yet have represented, I�d been wanting to add the name Tim Sale to my collection for quite some time. But, as always, it�s usually been a matter of finding the right example, being able to afford it at the time, or having someone else jump in and grab it before I could get to it. Well, thank goodness for my buddy Mitch. As he has done so many times over our 25 year friendship, he�s been able to provide exactly what I�d been waiting and looking for.

I was able to pick this up from Mitch on the fourth day of SDCC 2008. A truly fabulous example in Tim�s distinctive high contrast black & white style. I always figured that I would end up with a nice Batman piece from Tim, but landing this cover with my favorite character is better than anything I could�ve imagined.

As I understand it, this was used as the cover for a French edition Spider-man reprint book. Hence, Spidey swinging over the Arc de Triomphe. I love the details Tim put into the Arc, and of course that �amazing� full figure Spidey!

Anyway, another thank you in an endless line of thank you�s to my pal Mitch Itkowitz for plugging yet another hole in my collection and adding another brick to the foundation of our friendship. Love ya buddy!

(8/8/08)Here's a real treat for all of you! My buddy Gerry Turnbull just sent me a jpg. of this piece that he colored, BRILLIANTLY, I might add. Be sure to go to his gallery and check it out. It truly is (dare I say it) AMAZING! Thanks Gerrry, great job!

Excellent piece, Eric! And with just a couple small detail changes, it could become the Arch in Washington Square Park in NYC's Greenwich Village, putting Spidey right at home again!

I love Tim's style and this is the most refined art Tim has ever done. The background absolutely makes the piece. Great addition. Cheers! N.

What a great Tim Sale cover. Tim is one of the best around. A true modern master. He makes such bold choices with his work, it's uncomprimising. I love it. And to have spidey swinging over Paris and not NYC makes it even cooler.

Don't get me wrong, I dig the fact that it's Paris as well! One thing though, and just because I find this kind of stuff funny...believe me, I'm not seriously looking for an answer...what is he swinging from?!? :)

He's on his way down from the hot air balloon he and MJ were seeing paris from because he saw some crime in progress. perhaps at the louvre?
