His 1990 launch of Spider-Man #1 was the biggest selling comic in a generation. McFarlane moved Spider-Man away from the Romita/Buscema template for the first time with a new interpretation of Spidey and his supporting cast that struck a nerve with fans in the late 80s and early 90s. His career really took off when he took over and redefined Amazing Spider-Man.
After starting his career at DC on a title about the children of the Justice Society of America called Infinity Inc., McFarlane moved to Marvel in the late 80s where he first made an impression on Incredible Hulk. Todd McFarlane is one of the most popular comic book artists of his generation, matched only by Jim Lee. There is a 1.5" bend diagonal on the upper left corner. There is a minor 1" crease at the top right of the board, 2.5" from the the right edge. There is a small amount of ink smearing at the bottom right of the building in the second panel. Note: There are multiple pin holes at each of the corners. Really, it just does not get any better than this! Adding character to the page, we see the Daily Bugle amidst the cityscape to his right, along with classic internal dialogue with Peter lamenting over the fact that he doesn't have the best of photos to sell to J. McFarlane's trademark webbing flows around Spidey. A large, full-figured Spider-Man image is the focal point of the page, perched on a ledge in a pose we can only describe as ideal. Dimensions: The art has an image area of approximately 10" X 15.5".įrom the prime period of Todd McFarlane's historic Amazing Spider-Man run comes this iconic McSpidey splash page published in Amazing Spider-Man #318 (August, 1989), for which McFarlane renders both pencils and inks.
