Description
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only time Gene Colan and Neal Adams worked on a single piece while Gene was still alive. This was the cover to the graphic novel THE SPIDER SCAVENGERS OF THE SLAUGHTERED SACRIFICES. When I worked for Neal he expressed how much he loved Gene's illustrations and how he wanted to work with him. Upon showing Neal some of Gene's penciled pages from Captain America #601 (Gene's last issue for Marvel) Neal gushed how he wanted to ink those pages! I provided Neal with scans of each of the 3 pages I owned so he could ink them on blueline printouts, and they were Amazing! This collaboration was years earlier in 2002. The published cover was actually scanned from Gene's pencils. The publisher had asked Neal to ink this cover, but they decided to go with Gene's pencils for the published piece.

Wild piece that actually matches the intensity of the title! Snakes, spiders, and zombie creatures all together? Yes, please.
