Description

"The Black Widow is one of the few characters I've ever asked an artist to do an illustration of for me. I asked Gene to do one for me, which he did. I always loved her. Not when she was being drawn by Don Heck in The Avengers. It was when she got her own little series and Gene Colan took over the artwork. Specifically the scene in one story that made me fall in love with the character was one that Roy and Gene did. It was a Modesty Blaise kind of story. The bit was she was in the back seat of her limo. Ivan, her chauffeur, was in the front seat and she said, "Eyes front, Ivan." I liked that! You know, there was a sense of sexuality about her, a sense of female empowerment. She takes no crap. She's independent. She's red-headed. [laughs] One of my ongoing fantasies." ~ Gerry Conway

Great action panels, pure Colan style. And Natasha looks gorgeous!

Cool page! With Abel's inks, the design has a bit of a Krigstein vibe about it, but the movement is pure Colan. Love the look of the original 4-color printed page as well
