With all the buzz around the snazzy new Fantastic Four Teaser Trailer dropping this morning, I figured I’d share a cool piece of art in my collection with a slight connection to the big guy, The Thing!
In the 2018 (yet another) relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man 1 (802 Legacy), lies a 10 page backup story with incredible pencils by Humberto Ramos & inks by Victor Olazaba. I will humble brag that I own all 10 pages of this important short story & they are all near & dear to my heart for several reasons.
This specific short story being focused on Mysterio while introducing a new Spidey baddie in Kindred are the main reasons I snagged these pages years back, but there’s another aspect I love about this backup that I’m sharing with you here. The first page…this very page features a bunch of heroes that simply don’t appear anywhere else in my Spidey-Centric Art Gallery.
Fantastic Four’s The Thing is front & center on that bottom panel alongside several other heroes that don’t sit anywhere else in my collection but here on this specific page. I mean…Spider-Man…Dr. Strange….Gambit…Captain Marvel…Thor…Wolverine…and The Thing?!! It’s no wonder I jumped on the opportunity to grab the complete story! That in itself, makes this a Fantastic addition to my ever growing horde of Original Comic Art.
