Description

My collecting bucket list has three items left on it, and one of them is a published Paolo Rivera Spidey. Unfortunately, they never come available - those who have them have the good sense to hold on to them. The Mythos HC cover had so many of the elements I love about Paolo's Spidey - the delicacy of how he navigates the web, the expressive lenses with the thin upper edge of the eyelet, a pose that walks the line of what's possible.

I think he's one of the best artists ever to tackle the character, mentioned comfortably in that top tier of Spidey artists. He also renders the Silver Age renditions of characters perfectly (see his Folio Society print in their Silver Age collection), and the chance to get the entire FF (the Human Torch is jaw-dropping), the original 5 X-men, the Hulk, Cap, and even Ghost Rider down at the bottom of the image... this was "the one". Very grateful that it stayed within an affordable range, and that I could check off one of my dream pieces.
