Great action on this page, congrats K! Always nice to get a piece from your childhood.
Great looking page! I especially like the fact that it's from Saviuk's first run on the book because he was still drawing in his own style. I still really enjoyed the title later on, but wasn't as big a fan of seeing the "Come on Alex, make it look more like McFarlane!" style as I was of seeing the work look like his own. These pages from his first run also turn up far less frequently too, so I appreciate seeingthis even more!
I actually had asked Alex about this and, as you say, once McFarlane blew up on ASM, his way of drawing Spidey became the house style. I enjoyed Alex's entire run, but I agree with you, I dug his stuff prior to the McFarlane mandate more. His natural style is definitely more in that JRSR realm! Thanks, man, and all, for the comments!
Great page!
A really sensational page! Typically great work from Saviuk on Web. Bravo!
Beautiful action going on here. Nice pick up K
I agree with Ruben, this page is pure Alex Saviuk. And what a great battle sequence, featuring the cosmically powered Spider-Man (which was a wonderful story line). Kind of funny thinking about having your costume burned off multiple times during a battle. That would become annoying after a while, wouldn't it.
Yeah, I'd think so! Luckily (and interestingly!) enough I think the mulitple suit burn offs may have only happened when he was able to literally whip up a new one out of thin air :) Cosmic Spidey was definitely a fun and unique Spidey storyline. Thanks for the comment, Paul - I know you like you some Alex Saviuk Web work as well!
It doesn't really get better than this! Extremely dynamic poses, epic action! great page!
Saviuk did some amazing runs on Spidey. Love that bottom panel!
What a gorgeous page! Wow - congrats!
great page!
wow what a great page. nostaglia wheelhouse 5 STARS!!!
I will always have a special place for cosmic Spidey. Might be my favorite gimmick of the era.
It was a little gimmicky, wasn't it? But all good! No negative connotation there! Hey, with serialized fiction, I say go for it if you can make a good story, even if the idea may be a little out there :) Thanks for the comment, PJM!
Oh yeah, nothing negative at all, it was fun as hell!
That last panel rocks! Congrats
Saviuk made a very interesting work on Spider-Man, this page is a perfect example! Congrats!
Hope he had a a pair of the Torch's flame retardant underwear on.
Ha ha, fair point, John! In any case it looks like he whipped up a new costume pretty quick :) Thanks, as always, man - always appreciate the chuckle I get from your comments!
