i love Gwen Stacy

 

As an artist and as a comicbook fan i've found that certain comicartists have appealed to me for nearly my entire life. As a kid one of my favorite comics to get were issues of Marvel Tales, which reprinted classic Spider-man stories. I ate them up constantly, and the issues that held a special place in my heart and mind where the 60's era Spidey stories. At the time Spidey was being drawn by industry giants like John Romita Sr and John Buscema. Both of these artists drew some amazing images, and in particular the way they drew Mr Parker's love interests Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson. I knew about the fact Gwen Stacy ended up being killed by the Green Goblin but she was always my favorite between the 2. Something about the fact she was a combo of smart, sexy and totally out of Parker's league was what drew me to her i guess.

A Rant about Comic Covers

As anyone who has read comic books knows, the first factor in buying a comic is the cover, especially if it is a series you have never read before. In today's industry there are some amazing beautiful covers being produced, some of them so beautiful they would look at home in a fancy fine-art gallery. Heck, in today's world, there are artists who have dedicated their entire career to just doing cover art for comics. But part of me misses the days when a comic book cover was actually part of the story! I can remember being a kid, leafing thru the comic-spinner at the local walden's bookstore trying to find the perfect cover that would inspire me to open the book. Now as a much more mature comic fan I own several volumes of Marvel's Essential trades, and DC's Showcase presents trades, and falling in love with the older comics and the cover art that just screams "pick me up!". I am sure that people who actually work in the industry can argue why either type of cover art is a pro or a con, but i know i would love to see the return of the more story-based covers, even if they became part of the variant cover market.

#symbiote30 @marvel

it's hard to believe that one of the fan-favorites, Venom, is turning 30. I can remember being a kid and seeing the black costume, thinking that it was so cool looking. The stark contrast of the black and white costume was so beautiful, and drew my young eye. The black costume was introduced with in the miniseries Secret Wars and became a major hit for the company. Over time it turned out the costume was actually a symbiote that was planning to use Spider-man's life force. With the help of Reed Richards (and a giant church bell) Spidey was able to remove the symbiote because of a weakness to sound waves. Over time the costume was eventually bonded with  Eddie Brock (a disgruntled co-worker of Peter's) and because of their mutual hatred of Spidey, they became a real thorn in Spidey's heroic side.
