Description
Amazing Spider-man pencil sketch that a very cool Paul Smith did for me in 1983 when I was a very young teenager. This is larger then a regular comic art page, I brought the board for him.

My best friend was wearing a Roxy Music concert T-shirt that his brother had gotten him from the concert the night before. Paul kept commenting on it, how much he loved the image. We tried to get him one but couldn't (he was there the next day as well). It was a girl with a mohawk and 6 months later Storm had a new haircut, a mohawk in the X-men.

Paul said he remembers trying to make his friends laugh by drawing Storm as Mister T. which is where it comes from. My friend and I always knew how much he loved that shirt and we knew where he really got the idea (to us anyways)! He was awesome by the way, one of the best creators I ever met, we were kids and he made us feel great didn't talk down to us. I would love to meet him again. My friend is gone now so this piece reminds me of Childhood magic every time I look at it.

That's a cool sketch AND story! Paul Smith was such a breath of fresh air when he arrived on the scene. I was drawn to him during his Falcon mini series then his Marvel Fanfare X-Men issue knocked my socks off, been a big fan ever since! This Spidey piece is pretty darn sweet! CONGRATS!!!

Thanks Steve I appreciate it. One of the first pieces of comic art I ever got of my favourite character. I'm happy I still have it.
