Ditko Spidey (oil & bitumen on 300gsm paper)


Posted this a while back but these are better photos. The web strands were created by cutting back into the paint/paper after it was semi dry, kinda like inkers do with razor blades when they want a more jagged white line (explosions, mist, water effects). Joe Kubert perfected this technique (I reckon) yonks ago. Reading his biography at the moment, written by Bill Schelly, great stuff.
