Description

The designers of Spider-man and his Amazing Friends wanted a female character resembling Mary Jane but didn't want to actually use MJ so the concept of Angelica Jones/Firestar came about.

This is a conceptual, original pencil model drawing of Firestar by animator Rick Hoberg that took influences from John Romita Sr's initial drawings of her as John was a creative consultant on the show. This is a 3/4 view that clearly represents a 1970's-80's vibe that wasn't eventually used on the show. Looks to me to be heavily influenced by the likeness of Farrah Fawcett, particularly the hair, who was super popular at the time.

There were also influences from an older Marvel character named Spitfire, with coloring and the use of a mask. Red lightning bolt-like hair streaks were added to the final version of Firestar just before the show was animated.

Gorgeous shot of Firestar. The JRSR influence really is evident, isn't it? :) Congrats!
