Spider-Man themed pages consisting of mainly RA sketchafexes from RA's CA, WoM and SMA releases.

For this web site, I have found it better to scan the entire 9-pocket (a.k.a. page), rather than to put each sketch up as an individual scan. Besides for those of you who know me, I am very obsessive about how my pages are arranged .

Currently I have 15 "full" pages of RA's Spidey-related sketchafexes. Below, I give a brief summary of what is in each page, just to the right of the thumbnail for that page.

Table 10: Spider-Man related Sketchafex Cards

	Page 1: The Original Spider-Man This page introduces Peter Parker as Spider-Man from first being bitten by the radioactive Spider in this Ditko-like sketch (slot 1); to Spidey's first appearance as a wrestler (slot 2); to the classic split-face (also Ditko-like) sketch (slot 3); to "shutterbug" Spidey (slot 8), and pampered Peter (slot 9). The remainder of the page shows Spidey in classic poses. This page also has a few Spidey sketches I collected from RA's 'Complete Avengers' series. When I first saw RA's samples, I thought the Lynch Spidey in the Savage Land sketch was an interesting "conceptual" sketch, so I was quite pleased to pull it , and I made it the center sketch (slot 5) of this page.
	Page 2: Other Versions of Spider-Man This page has various versions of Spider-Man (in no particular order): Six-Arms (ASM #50) Black Costume Captain Universe 2099 Armored Iron Spider Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly) Ben Reilly (as replacement for Peter) Spider-Hulk
	Page 3: Non-powered Friends and Lovers This page was intended to highlight Peter's "normal" friends and associates, but I could only find sketches for four of them . Aunt May; there for Peter from the very beginning (AF #15) Jonah Jameson; Peter's cantankerous "boss" at the Daily Bugle (ASM #1) Robbie Robertson; Editor at the Daily Bugle (ASM #51) Gwen Stacy was actually Peter's first girl-friend (ASM #31), even though most people think it was Mary Jane Gwen's death in ASM #121, supposedly "changed comics" from that point on Mary Jane Watson, was mentioned often but not actually seen until the last panel of ASM #42; where she delivers her famous line ... 'Face it Tiger, You Just Hit the Jackpot !!' MJ in her career as a Fashion Model MJ finally marrying Peter (ASM Ann #21)
	Page 4: Misc. Allies There is no particular theme except that these are sketches I liked, of various heroes that have teamed with Spidey. Daredevil in his original red-yellow costume (ASM #16) Human Torch; who got along with Spidey since both were teen-agers during the Silver-Age (ASM #8) Black Cat (ASM #194) Firestar & Iceman; per the Animated TV series 'Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends' (1981 - 1983) Silver Sable (ASM #265) Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) 1st costume Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) 2nd costume Madame Web (ASM #210)
	Page 5: Team-ups These are sketches of various heroes that have teamed with Spidey. Man-Thing (Marvel Team-up #68) The New Avengers Sentry The Prowler New Fantastic Four (FF #347 - 349) Iron Man; who created the Iron Spider suit for Spidey (ASM #529) Daredevil The Thing Darkhawk
	Page 6: Villains - Silver-Age This page begins my Rogues Gallery pages. It seems fitting that I start it with Owens sketch which depicts how in the early days, Spidey started webbing-up the common crooks and leaving them for the cops, along with his patented note (slot 1). The last six sketches is the Original Sinsiter Six (per ASM Ann #1). Chameleon(ASM #1) Lizard (ASM #6) Vulture (ASM #2) Doctor Octopus(ASM #3) Sandman (ASM #4) Electro (ASM #9) Mysterio (ASM #13) Kraven, The Hunter (ASM #15)
	Page 7: Villains - Silver-Age More classic villains from the Silver-Age ... Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin (ASM #14) Scorpion (ASM #20) Molten Man (ASM #28) Shocker (ASM #46) Rhino (ASM #41) Kingpin (ASM #50) one of Czop's Rogue's Gallery sketches
	Page 8: Villains - post Silver-Age Depending on when one considers the Silver-Age to have ended, some of these could be considered SA-era villains. The last four sketches are Symbiotes. Harry Osborn as the 2nd Green Goblin (ASM #136) Punisher (ASM #129) Morbius (ASM #101) Hobgoblin(ASM #238) Venom(ASM #299) Carnage (ASM #360) Anti-Venom(ASM #569)
	Page 9: Buddy Prince - Lame Villains Those of you who have visited my X-Men Gallery and read my text prior to page 12, knows how much I like the style for Buddy Prince. Since early on, I found he drew some obscure, or what I call "lame" Spidey villains, I decided to make a page of them . It can be argued that some like Puma, etc. are not a "lame" villain, but to me he isn't a "classic" villain either, so I grouped him here, at least until I can find a "lamer" one to take his place. Note: I listed them in chronological order of appearance. Kangaroo(ASM #81) Tarantula (ASM #134) Human Fly (ASM Ann #10) Will-o-the-Wisp (ASM #167) Rocket Racer (ASM #172) Carrion (SSM #25) Speed Demon (ASM #222) Jack O' Lantern (SSM #56) Puma (ASM #256)
	Page 10: Buddy Prince - Battles This page is more of Buddy's sketches that I like ... this time of Spidey battling various villains. All but one (the Bob Koya in slot 1) are drawn by Buddy. I didn't try to figure out which specific issue of a Spidey comic these may be from, except for the ones in the first row. vs. Rhino (ASM #41) vs. Kingpin (ASM #50) vs. Man-Wolf (ASM #124) vs. Venom vs. Spot vs. Beetle (ASM #21, though this is post-SA-era version vs. Werewolf (by Night) vs. Red Skull vs. Goliath
	Page 11: Misc. Buddy Prince's This page is just a "catch-all" for more Spidey-related Buddy Prince sketches that I acquire, but have no real theme for
	Page 12: Misc. John Czop's Those of you who know me, knows that ever since his work for the two Skybox sketchagraph series in 1998, I have liked the sketches from Czop . There is no particular theme here, just various sketches from him that I was able to procure. The Spider-Friends Hulk team-up or battle ? Czop's tribute to Roger Stern and Ron Frenz's ASM #248. Per some sources, this story is considered one of the "Top 10 Spider-Man stories of all time" !! Peter Parker JJJ Gwen Stacy Cloak & Dagger JJJ's son as Man-Wolf Madame Web
	Page 13: More Misc. John Czop's This page is a "catch-all" for more Czop sketches that I acquired but have no real theme for. Cloak & Dagger Swarm (SSM #36) Will-o-the-Wisp Black-costume Spidey Black Cat Daredevil & Spidey Carnage Black-costume Spidey Skrull Spidey
	Page 14: Misc. John Czop's SA-era Villains Beetle (ASM #21 though this is the more-modern version) Kraven, The Hunter (ASM #15) Green Goblin (ASM #14) Mysterio (ASM #13) Note the sketches in slots 5 - 9 makes sort of a montage. Doctor Octopus (slots 5 & 6) appears; approaches our hero from behind (slot 7); as Spidey turns, he sees the tentacles (slot 8); but Too Late they have grabbed him (slot 9) !!
	Page 15: Miscellaneous This page is just a "catch-all" for more Spidey-related sketches that I acquired over the past several years, but have no real theme for. Most were part of my collection, but got bumped from the original themed page by another sketch that I felt suited that page better. Note: all of these are also available for Trade or Sale (except the ones in slots 7 & 9) .
