Around 1988, I and a writer David Micheline had been tasked to help put a little momentum back into Marvel Amazing Spider-Man.
After a few years my art skills were maturing and I was getting the itch to WRITE and not just draw.
So in 1991, I decided to LEAVE the Spidey book and look for another title where I could leverage my drawing skills as the reason to let me write.
SURPRISINGLY, Marvel instead offered to create a NEW SPIDEY simply titled SPIDER-MAN.
The book came out and INSTANTLY set a sales record (one that still stands today for a book with one author). BUT…as time went by, the company began to slowly pull back some of the control they originally let me have. At first I didn’t mind, but over time they kept taking more and more. I realized I needed to leave the book and find my own way.
The drawing below is from Spider-Man issue 16. This is the ORIGINAL artwork that has a sword going through Juggernaut’s eye. The issue that ended up on shelve, is DIFFERENT than the one I drew.
So what you are seeing in the photo is the unused panel of the page that led to me LEAVING Marvel Comics. The colored one below is what ended up in the comic!
