Description
Betcha thought I was done with Fred Friday when I didn't post anything last week.

Nope ... that was just me being forgetful.

I still have more in the vault!

This is a fun one. I didn't know about this character when the sketch card was listed on eBay, but he looked cool ... and me being a Spider-Man fan, I had to go for it. I later found out that his first appearance was in Detective Comics #463 (1976).

So I included an image of the comic with the sketch card.

Happy 1st Fred Friday of 2026!

More in the vault?  Now you are really starting to scare me buddy.  Anyway, since you didn't do one last week, why not a double post this week?  Ha!  I know, I know.  I probably shouldn't give you any ideas.  Just one question.  If he's the Black Spider, why is he in a big purple suit?  Whatever.  Happy Fred Friday to all.  Enjoy the weekend.

Do you have a springboard set up in the vault like Uncle Scrooge and dive in and swim around in all your Hembecks?

Nice one! Well I know the character (I own the art to the Detective Comics #463 cover), but I didn't know about the Hembeck card! Great grab Paul!

I always liked the Black Spider costume design. This one is cool, because it looks like Trump cosplaying as Black Spider. KFC for lunch, McDonald's for dinner and Twinkies and Ho-Hos for dessert!

You must have collected so much of Fred's DNA on those sketch cards that you can clone him and make a whole new sketcher. You'll never need to go on eBay again. Fred makes the Black Spider look like a real brawler, ready for a bit of Lucha Libre. Fun sketch.
