Description

Closed out 2024 with ‘80s Spidey and opening 2025 with modern Spidey. The former, black costume. The latter, sorta reverse :) I open up new year CAF posting with my first pieces by artists and this is my first by Stefano Caselli, and my first non-variant ASM cover! I was reading comics rabidly during this early 2010’s time frame and that included Dan Slott’s run on ASM, starting with #648, the “Big Time” era. Caselli was one of the artists and I loved his Spidey rendition, and this cover was one of my faves. Feel fortunate to have gotten the OA, especially as he doesn’t sell his art. Thanks for letting me pick it up, FB!

This is when Pete was part of the Future Foundation, taking Johnny’s place in the Fantastic Four after he was thought dead. He of course wasn’t, but at this point, they thought he was. In any case! The team decided to change their name to a different FF with Pete’s add and also create new uniforms which I dug. Straight white and black and Spidey’s is kind of an inverse of the black costume, though with a little more design elements and with straight lines/edges vs round.

Really like the way every cast member looks here. Sue, Ben, Reed, and Pete. Classic cartoony look but with that ink wash gray rendering providing the lighting effect coming from Sue’s side. And with Franklin and Valeria it adds that fun family factor that is “FF”. No surprise this cover was used for one of the trade volumes. Great OA with a nostalgic bent, albeit modern. But it is weird to believe it’s been 14 years!

Lastly and coincidentally, earlier this month, I saw this costume is going to be used in new animated series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”! Here’s a link to the trailer I saw it in: https:www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3J2JRQg040. Premieres on Disney+ next week.

Thanks for looking, and for those hitting OAX, looking forward to seeing y’all in a couple days!
