John Byrne inking Jack Kirby pencils of Spider-Man.

The pencils were done in the early 1970’s and John tried his hand at inking them (not the original) in 2012..

Batter Up!

It should not come as much of a surprise that one of my life goals is to hunt down this poster and then scotch tape my face in between the terrifying Hulk-like creature and the even scarier serial killer that looks something like The Silver Surfer. I’ve been informed that this is actually Iceman. Maybe.

This is also a good time to link to my favorite Spider-Man related article on the day. Mike Bates retcons Alex Rodriguez’s New York Yankee days and, well, the results are terrifying.

Marvel President Terry Stewart and Richard Rogers, the head of Marvel’s marketing department, decided that Spider-Man’s thirtieth anniversary was the perfect opportunity for 3-D hologram covers and more crossovers and double-sized issues. Not everyone was convinced “Right after the Spider-Man thirtieth anniversary went on the schedule,” said Director of Sales Lou Bank, “a memo came out of [marketing], detailing the anniversaries of all the other characters, one after the other. That, I believe, is when editorial let out a collective growl. It was year after year of anniversary after anniversary.”
