Dig this huge (11 by 17 inches!) pencil drawing I did at age 11, in 1976! Here we have a harried Spidey facing off against the sinister Sandman! Looks familiar, does it? That's right, I lifted it unashamedly from the cover of the then-spanking-new AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #154! I simply wanted a large poster of this cover, another stellar example of the art of the incredible John Romita Sr., and it was up to me to make that poster a reality! This gem even has tape on it, from when I had displayed it! Click to enlarge!

| You can tell I really struggled with the heads and faces, wanting to capture Romita's perfect renditions fully! He's still the Spider-Man artist to me! |
BONUS! Look below to see the actual 1976 cover that inspired my own incredible (?) re-creation!
