SUPERMAN VS THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3D shadowbox paper sculpture for Mike Alderman 2015
Original art by Carmine Infantino, Ross Andru, Dick Giordano
Published by DC and Marvel Comics 1976
This SUPERMAN VS THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3D was made for client Mike Alderman. Original art by Carmine Infantino, Ross Andru and Dick Giordano 1976. According to Wikipedia, Neal Adams, John Romita, Terry Austin, and Bob Wiacek also lent an uncredited hand to the story art and possibly the cover.Superman's face definitely has the look of Neal Adams' style.
According to historian J David Spurlock, Carmine Infantino also lent a hand.
"Not only did he (Infantino) make the deal for the historic crossover; not only did Infantino create Treasury Editions, but he designed the cover — as he did most DC covers at the time, no mater who did the finishes. His Spidey-Supes layout sketches are in his autobiography, Amazing World of Carmine Infantino "
The story was written by my friend Gerry Conway.
The 3D was made using 25 laser scan print copies on heavy semi-gloss paper. not of the actual cover, but of a store window promo poster which exactly replicated the cover that I had kept in storage for years and only recently re-discovered. The 3D work took over 50 hours (stretched over several months) and measures 13.5 x 10 x 8 inches. Mike has opted to frame the 3D himself in a plexi-glass cube.
Work on this 3D started back in September 2015 and completed by December. Because of the complexity of the antenna tower, I was not sure how deep the 3D would eventually be, so I worked on the main characters, logos, and top banners as separate modules to be added after the antenna tower was finished.
