Description

"I'm from Charlotte!"

When the Identity Crisis storyline was happening in the Spider books, I was neck-deep in the X-Men universe, but teenage me loved Mike Wieringo's covers for the two tie-in issues of Sensational Spider-Man that featured the Hornet (funny that I didn't pay as much attention to his art until almost 10 years later with FF). I picked up those two issues, and I think those were the only issues of Spider-Man I had for years. In my early art collecting days, I had chances to pick up some pages from those two issues but passed/missed out for various reasons (many of them silly). And very few pages have shown up since then, so art from those issues has been on my wishlist for some time.

Fast forward to OAX, and by sheer happenstance, I happened to flip through Michael Lovitz's portfolios of art for sale, not expecting to find anything. And then I saw four pages from Sensational Spider-Man #27 (the first issue with the Hornet). I knew I had to get at least one of these... and ended up buying three of them. It's been a while since I picked up any art from Mike, and it feels so nice to add some to the collection again.

And here's a page from the press conference where the Hornet is introduced as a superhero to the rest of the world (if I could only get one of the four, this was going to be it). That second panel always stuck out to me with that smirk as Peter says the line about being from Charlotte (basketball fans from the 90s will get that reference). It's a cheesy joke, yet it's a line/page that stuck with me over the years (one point for nostalgia). And I just love how glossy and shiny the suit looks (shout out to the inks by Richard Case).

Thanks, Michael!

GREAT pickups from the all-too-brief Identity Crisis story featuring Ringo's Hornet design. This one, with the impromptu press conference and the up, up and away moment, is my favorite of the bunch. Congrats on three wonderful examples!
