Description

“I had Spider-Man turned to confront Venom in my pencil sketch, which I felt heightened the anticipation of impact, but I was asked (by Marvel) to have Spidey somehow face the viewer. Editors are notoriously resistant to having figures face away from the camera. I relented… It’s a totally different narrative (the published painting) from what I intended, but it’s still a decent painting,” Joe says in an FPG Publishing Marvel Masterpieces book recently released, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 1992 Marvel Masterpieces.

Measuring 6 x 8.5, this piece is the fleshed out, advanced prelim of Jusko’s first outline sketch and concept. W/out this one, we don’t get the card we all know and love.

I believe this is also called a transfer sheet. It’s the final stage before Jusko would chalk it onto a board where he would later paint the final painting. This version of course was rejected by Marvel, making it the most complete state of the originally intended image.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me here or reach out to me on Instagram @ The 9.9 Newsstand.

Thank you for stopping by! Hope all is well.
