Description

My very first at home commission, ordered back in January 2017 & shipped a few weeks later, by the amazing Steven Butler! Unknowingly to him, Steven left a big impression on me.

My very first (Dutch) comics were translations of "Web of Spider-Man" #128, and #118. The cover of "Web of Spider-Man" #128 - my very first comic - has always stayed with me - same with the "Web of" #118 story which I devoured over and over and over. An actual origin story? In the comic I'm holding?

That and the attention grabbing, muscle-bound superheroics in Steven's art (with a grotesque Venom, too) just made me look at those few comics I had back then and say: I need more of this.

Steven was touched by my story and suggested to do an homage to his #128 cover. The question on the original cover is: who gets the webs - Spider-Man or Scarlet Spider? And Steven answered that with my piece for me. The original "Web of" #128 is from the year I was born, too. So it all just made sense.

Size is a whopping 11x17.

I got lucky twice, because not only did I get this piece, but those stories you are talking about, were my very first comics ever! But only read them in 2005 or so - although they still held up for this 10 year old kid, back then.
