Don't be fooled - you're looking at a photocopy of a 100% pencil drawing (lettering included), not an inked piece of art. Way back in 1983, MARVEL U.K.'s The DAREDEVILS held a competition to design a cover, so I dashed off this rather plain cover-rough for their consideration. Looking at it now, it's not too bad, but the highlights on SPIDER-MAN's thighs need some work. Had I ever inked the piece, I would've sorted out all the little imperfections, but, overall, it's not the worst drawing I've done. (Or seen - no names, no pack-drill.) Obviously, it would've had much more impact in colour - might add some one day (and fix those thighs).
No, I didn't win. I'll have to dig out my back issues and see what did. I think at least I should've got a runner-up prize.
