Post 2 of 2 -- Alpha: Big Time #4 COVER by Humberto Ramos, 2013 -- ft ALPHA & THOR!

Tonight, I am posting two covers that feature a character from the Spiderverse, ANDY MAGUIRE, code-name ALPHA.

This is a really fun cover where Alpha has somehow roped Thor into one of those photo booths where you can mug for the camera in a series of pics that then shoot out of a dispenser in a form of, well, a kind of comic strip. In this case, Alpha got into the spirit of the thing MUCH more than grumpy ol' Thor.

SPECIAL NOTE: If anyone owns (or knows who owns) the cover to Alpha: Big Time #2, please let me know, as I would be very interested in buying it.

***ALPHA debuted in Amazing Spider-Man #692 (Aug, 2012) and later got his own mini-series called “ALPHA: BIG TIME” which lasted six issues (#0.1 and #1-5).

Andy Maguire achieved his powers at Horizon Labs, where Peter Parker worked for a while, when a problem arose during a demonstration of “Parker Particles.” While trying to save a girl named Chrissy in the chaos, Andy Maguire was struck by the energy himself.

Instead of being fatally injured, he miraculously survived and gained the ability to create a hyper-kinetic form of energy tied to the forces of the universe. After being tested by many scientists and superheroes, Andy became the new spokesman of Horizon Labs, while he was being trained by Peter Parker's superhero alter-ego, Spider-Man.***
