And Still More Spider-Man Cover Recreations!

 Hey! It's another round of Spider-Man cover recreations, commissioned by my pal, Al! I've now done enough of these that Dan Greenfield kindly did a feature on them over at the wonderful 13th Dimension! Look at these, then go look at them! And then look at some other stuff! LOOKEE LOOKIE LOOOO!!! 

Sorry, I've been at the computer all day, I'm a little batty. What we have here are redos of THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #2 originally painted by John Romita (Marvel dabbled in this new magazine format in the late Sixties before diving in later in the Seventies, albeit mostly in non-superhero genres), THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #3 originally by Steve Ditko (introducing Doctor Octopus), ASM #89 (that darned Doc Ock again!) and ASM #136, with the Green Goblin (or, Green Goblin Jr.), both by Romita.

Prince Street News: New Teen Titans Auditions

The New BACK ISSUE! (#122) celebrates the 40th anniversary of DC Comics' breakout 1980s reboot of their primary sidekick supergroup, The New Teen Titans (the comic book that gave the world Cyborg). For this issue's Prince Street News, I imagined what the recruitment might've been like for that new iteration of the team. Most of these gags are fanboy-only, so don't feel bad if you don't get them (that's Roaring '20s comic strip character Harold Teen in panel 5 on page 2, but the rest you'll have to figure out yourself). 

BONUS! Originally, I scripted the punchline to include Bumblebee as one of the sillier alumni of the previous Teen Titans, but I realized she's actually not a goofy character, so I replaced her with the defrosted teenage caveman, Gnarrk. Much funnier. The original penciled panel is shown after the finished strip.

Next issue! Superhero Romance! It's often times a goopy mess!!
