0.000 HBDIntroducing Sinister Adaptoid into my Spidey Art Gallery
 It’s been a hot minute since I’ve popped up one of these posts, so I figured now is as good a time as any to quit being a complete slacker and share my excitement with you all. For the two or three of you who are kind enough to waste precious minutes of your day perusing my drivel here, you are probably well aware of the complete dork that lives within me. For anyone just checking me out for the first time, know this…I’m a Spider-Man diehard. That’s my boy. Ever since I was a little booger picker all the way up to being a grown up booger picker…I’m a fan of the WebHead. So much so that my passion is hoarding some truly awesome one of a kind collectibles such as Original Comic Book Art. These are the art pages used to create the actual issues, and in my thirty plus years of collecting various nonsense…they are hands down, the most enjoyable items I’ve ever had the pleasure of hunting down. In the past I’d buy a figure or a comic, and into a box it would go to just…sit there. But with this art, part of the fun for me is to eventually get it professionally framed up and on display in my ever growing Spidey gallery. I get to actually appreciate my Spidey museum day in and day out, and that is a different feeling from mostly anything else I’ve ever dabbled in. Plus the fact that I feel like it’s an actual great investment. Published Spidey art is highly sought after by an extremely competitive group of individuals, and shows zero signs of slowing down. Not that I have any intention of moving my pieces…but it doesn’t hurt feeling like it’s a worthwhile investment towards the future. At least my kids will be able to do well with it should I croak unexpectedly. After a few years of going guns ablazing, I’ve taken a bit of a backseat in the purchasing department for the past year. I’ve been a bit cash poor as of late, but this was one of three pieces that I was slowly paying off for a while. I finally made the last payment recently on this specific page, and I’m thrilled to get it added to the collection. Okay…enough backstory…  This page comes from the current run of Amazing Spider-Man. Issue #6 to be exact…or #900 if going by Legacy numbering which is simply a continuous numbering dating back to ASM #1 all they way back in 1963. This issue was penciled by the awesome Ed McGuinness with inks by the equally awesome, Mark Morales.  This issue featured the first appearance of a new baddie by the name of the Sinister Adaptoid, whom is basically a mash up of all of the members of the Sinister Six. His design was badass and I immediately wanted in on this action. So when Ed & Mark started selling pages from this issue, I jumped. This specific page (#44) features 4 panels with the top basically being a half splash. 3 of the 4 feature Spidey which is always a gigantic plus. That, topped with new villain screamed out to me. The bottom half of the 11x17 board has Spidey getting twisted & a bit tied up.   I like Ed’s Spidey. It has a really clean look and the page itself has a lot of nice detail. The design of Sinister Adaptoid looks badass as well as it incorporates a little bit of each villain into it. Here is the published page for more context.  I have 2 more pages coming from Ed that I’ll show off below, but I have to stop being a deadbeat and finish paying those off. I’ll hopefully have those wrapped up within the next couple of weeks (Sorry Ed!). I will add that both of these talented fellas have been absolute rockstars regarding the acquisition of these with the patience of a saint. I actually picked up this page in person from Mark as he only lives about 30 minutes from me. Super cool dude! While I do not have the other 2 pages from this deal yet, I’ll show em off here. The one is the very next page which is groovy. I’d like to eventually get these framed together and hung next to one another. That middle panel is a killer shot!!!   This page is a few later and I jumped on this one as I am a huge Mysterio fan. I only wish it had Doc Ock on it as well since it has the other 5 members (Vulture, Electro, Kraven, Mysterio, & Sandman). I also dig Spidey’s vibe and sense of humor here.   All in all, I’m over the moon to have a new addition to the collection. While these set me back a bit…they will all be entered into the black hole that is my ever growing Spidey gallery. I’ll update once I receive the others after I’m done taking forever paying poor Ed…like I said…the man’s a saint. See ya around homies! Blewitt
