Spidey Sketch
I’m not a big superhero fan, but I loves me my Spiderman. He occasionally makes an appearance in my sketchbook too as he’s just fun to draw. I like making him a skinny kid that’s just all arms and legs.
I also include here a sketch of the unsung hero of the Marvel Universe, J. Jonah Jameson. I wonder how he’s going to handle editing a newspaper in a dying industry (although I understand he’s mayor of NY or something now? I don’t read the comics, so I have no idea).
Oh, and there’s a Thor at the bottom too. Enjoy!

Man, these are GREAT! Oddly enough, I just drew a Spidey the other night. I had meant to do something completely stylized and cool, but instead, this came out of my hand:

These stylized bits of yours are just so much cooler. I’d love to see a whole graphic novel done in that style. Fantastic work, Jim.
Steve, that Spidey is GREAT!
I was kind of inspired by Sean “Cheeks” Galloway’s Spider-man, although the pose I drew is far less…no…completely undynamic.

I’d LOVE to see a James Anderson Spidey story — especially if they’re done completely in the sketchy style shown here. That J. Jonah is awesome and I really like a skinny version of Spiderman to better reflect Peter Parker as an awkward teenager.
Thanks, John. I put a bug in Dan’s ear after the FF anniversary show about next year’s anniversary of issue 1 of Spider-man. Maybe we’ll get a chance to do a page again!
These are great. You writing/drawing Spidey or Thor might would be incentive for me to actually read these comics! =o)
Thanks Denver! I’m sure it would be an intersting story where everyone got along and worked their problems out over lunch.
