Description

When I was a kid in the 80's, I never would have thought I would art from Fred Hembeck.

I found that Fred was doing commissions, and after seeing his very reasonable prices, I decided to get a cover recreation, but I had to figure out which one. Then, when I was driving home that day from work, Amazing Spider-Man 16 popped into my head.

I wanted the commission to fit into my 'Spider-Wing' theme, and when the image of Spidey fighting Daredevil at the circus popped into my head, I knew that was the one. There was still the Hero vs. Hero motif, and it was at the circus and given Nightwing's origins, it was just too perfect.

I decided to have Fred draw Nightwing in his original, George Perez designed suit, since it's a retro cover and the costume fits more into the circus theme and fits Fred's style perfectly.

This commission turned out awesome, if I do say so myself, and the experience was made so much better by the kindness and professionalism of Mr. Hembeck. This will not be the last piece I get from him. check out his site!

Fred Hembeck's efforts never fail to make me smile, and it doesn't hurt that this is one of my all-time favorite issues of Spider-Man. (It does sort of demand a sequel, though, don't you think?) Well played, sir. I'm enjoying your galleries quite a lot.
