This was certainly a tricky cover to create! I'm usually a little underwhelmed with my photo covers, but I like how this one turned out.
Spidey and Robin have had a bit of history on the blog - They first met back in my B&B: The Lost Issues days... They used the Spider-Signal in STF #2417... Batgirl joined them for an adventure in STF #938... They met when Dick Grayson became Nightwing in STF #87... and Spidey even helped train Tim Drake to take over the Robin role in STF #838... they met when Robin was in the original Teen Titans in STF #619... and again in the New Teen Titans in STF #767... not to mention when their successors met up in STF #529 and continued their adventure in STF #530... and they were last seen together in a 2-Parter vs. The Riddler and Mysterio in a tale that began in STF #2755 and concluded in STF #2756...
This is totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your live action adaptation covers! You put the block in summer blockbuster comics!
Spidey and Robin again, and in TV mode. The webbing certainly makes them look cosy.
ReplyDeleteThen I clicked on your back catalogue links and found one of my all-time favourite STF covers (Okay, from your B&B days) - Swan and Ditko? - with Spidey replacing Bat-mite in the Bat-cave and claiming Bruce Wayne as his long lost dad! Still wish you'd follow that up! So much story potential. And so much comic resonance.
(Would that make the Shadow Spidey's grandpa?)
I have to agree: this is a fine addition to the STFCU.
ReplyDeletei adore your live action covers and this one is very cool with the overall (literally) web design....
ReplyDeleteanother in a long line of great Ross creations.....
simply superb and superior, sir....
When it was first being loaded on to my screen, I thought sure the special guest-villain was going to be Tallulah Bankhead as the Black Widow! But, then again, that might make a great premise for a sequel. Having her seduce an ambitious pair of rival gangsters into threatening a city-wide bloodbath for supremacy...just so she could assume the throne from the winner.

ReplyDeleteWakanda Forever": A beloved cross-armed salute that signifies so much more following the death of "Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman on Friday at age 43.

It wasn't until Boseman's death that I learned he was a superhero off-screen as well. Boseman was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, his family said in a statement Friday, meaning the star was secretly battling the insidious disease while filming a movie that would galvanize us all.
