I get the above question DOZENS of times! So here is a quick answer to that question (ok… not so quick).
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.
So there it is…
Be good.
