Description I saw this blank cover variant of Amazing Spiderman#648 in a comic book store and I suddenly had the inspiration to pick it up, thankfully at cover price and try my hand at it.

I wanted to try my hand at doing essentially amounts to 2 covers, but laid out in such a manner, that they are in fact one entire composition to be looked as a whole.

So, on one side we have Spiderman, in his usual crouching on the rooftop pose, as he overlooks the city. Meanwhile, on the other side, we've got his entire classic rogues gallery ready to pounce on him, in a split second.

On their own, they're all right covers, but once you open up both sides to see them connected as a whole, the cover just comes alive.

This cover was done with the use of a 2H drafting pencil, a series of tech pens, and a wide assortment (ie lots of green and purple) of Prismacolour markers.

To be honest, that only took a night of me, not being able to sleep because I drank some Red Bull and a can of Coke, lol.

Luckily, I had it all laid out from a brief thumbnail sketch I did.

A night is fair if you have it all laid out before hand.

Even I was a bit surprised, when I finished up at midnight, and had started it at 6pm.

Wow, 6 hrs is pretty fast for as many characters as there are. Oh.. my local shop gets his books in on Tues and I get to set mine aside for Wed, thought you might want to know that there is a sketch cover for Mighty Thor#1

Yeah, his spider-sense should be going off like an air raid siren.

Hahahaha, that it should be, and I agree with you on that front, but for the composition/design of the cover, I wanted each individual side to stand alone if necessary and work as a complete whole piece.

But normally I would have his spider-sense going ballistic at those enemies behind him, lol.

Thank you. What can I say? I had a lot of fun, and plus, Spiderman's villains are only second to Batman's Rogues Gallery.
