This is another example of a cover that required a bunch of de-cluttering before I could add in any new elements. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:
I was mostly a fan of superhero comics when I was a kid, but my admiration for Joe Kubert's artwork got me reading other genres like war comics and adventures with Tarzan. I still remember the tabloid sized Stories from the Bible DC Special that introduced me to his amazing illustrations.
Coming tomorrow: STF#4500!
I never really understood those weird helmets that the A.I.M. henchmen would wear. They looked like evil beekeepers and I can't imagine they had great peripheral vision.
Spidey and Freddy first met in STF #1358
I was glad to use an image by Stan lee's brother, Larry Lieber here. I remember seeking out his few daily panels for the Spider-Man newspaper strip. Many years back, I picked up an original strip by him:
The High Evolutionary seems like another Marvel villain that is ripe for the MCU treatment. Stories featuring him always took some twisted turns. I can see him being fascinated by a specimen like Metamorpho.
Ant-Man also helped Animal Man out of a High Evolutionary experiment way back in STF #283...
