Description

A typically striking (12" x 17") portrait of Green Goblin, purchased directly from Ben earlier this year. This depiction showcases perfectly, I feel, the unique 'floating head' technique which Ben favoured for (and which consequently characterised) so much of his breakthrough cover work. Incredibly pleased to own this one!

This leaves a big impression! Oliver's use of color and lighting brings the skin texture over that evil smile to creep you out.

Rhandy, I'd never thought of it in those terms, but - yes, you're absolutely right!

I'll give it a go, come October...

Gorgeous piece, Bruce, whose tremendous execution really leans into more of a classical folklore "goblin" look (complete with the simple cloth cap), completely to its credit. I love it! The Sinister Six would look at this as a recruitment piece, thinking to themselves, "We GOTTA get this guy! He's SO sinister!" :) Congrats on this breathtaking rendition of Norman's true face... Awesome!

Jason, thanks so much for your comments; absolutely loved your take on this as a Recruitment image for the Six! This is, as you say, very much a goblin of folklore - and the scan really doesn't do justice to the original, not by a long way - but this interpretation suits Ben's style perfectly. The man never fails to deliver!
