Spectacular Art of Andie Tong

Andie Tong is the regular artist of the Spectacular Spider-Man's UK comic book. Now I haven't read any of the issues, but I did come across his deviant art page last night, which feature some of the pages from what looks to be a superb comic.

I love all the quirky posses Andie draws Spidey in. He also does a terrific job on the webbing and the half-mask. I can take big or small eyes on a Spider-Man mask, but I think Andie gets the right combo. The eyes aren't too big and they aren't too small.

Andie also draws a very excellent Green Goblin. It'd be sweet if he could do the art for some of the Spider books in the states.
James Offredi does the coloring on Andie's artwork. Needless to say, James does an amazing job, making Andie's already gorgeous art look even better.

I know its only artwork and I haven't read any of these issues, but from what I've seen, it looks like the stories in the Spectacular Spider-Man UK book are a heck of a lot more interesting than the garbage that's infesting Amazing Spider-Man.

The crew behind the book even won an Eagle Award for all of their hard work. Looks like it was well-deserved. You can check out more of Andie's stuff here. Congratulations on the award and keep up the good work, guys!

That looks incredible!!

I wonder if those are A.I.M. agents in the last page or some other group?
Pardon my ignorance but who is A.I.M.?

They're a technology-based group that tend to appear more in Iron Man, but Spidey has clashed with things they've created, such as the Super Adaptoid (Web of Spidey #100) and the Dreadnought 2000s (Spec Spidey Annual #12).
Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.
I think Andie has admiration to the art of Todd McFarlane and Mark Bagley, the way Spidey swings with spaghetti webbing and how his half face half mask looks like Ultimate Spidey.

This thing makes me want to read more of Mark Millers and Terry Dodsons job from MK: Spider-Man, and I want to collect these issue too.

Peter and M.J are dating? Not married? At least he and M.J are together. Does this M.J know that Peter is Spider-Man? Peter seems to be living in his aunts house.

Wait, guys, are you telling me that there is an original Spidey comic being published in England? That don’t seem fair to us folks here. I mean, they get our comics as reprints, shouldn’t we get reprints of theirs?

Someone tell me to whom I’m supposed to write!

Super Hero Secret IDs & Their Friends

I've always felt Clark Kent has had one of the poorest disguises of all time for a secret Identity. All he does is straight up his "S" curl so it isn't visible and put on some glasses. Well, also depending on the era, Clark is either goes out of his way to be a bumbling idiot so people don't suspect he's an alien from another world, or here's the non-clumsy modern version. Personally, I like both, but if Lois is indeed a star reporter then she'd have to see through that disguise. Let's be realistic here. No one is that clumsy unless they are trying to be. I actually read a post on a message board that Lois finding out that Clark was Superman takes away from the whole dynamic. Seriously? The dynamic of making Lois look like a complete idiot who is unable to see what is right in front of her? I didn't miss that one bit. In fact, one of the few problems I had with Superman The Animated Series is that Warner Brothers didn't allow the creators t

Hooray for Reprints!

The Green Goblin has often been touted as Spider-Man's deadliest foe. He is what the Joker is to Batman. I wonder if Stan knew back when Gobby first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #14 that the Goblin would become the menace that he is to Spidey today. What makes the Goblin such an interesting foe isn't the costume. No. Much like Spider-Man, Gobby is such a great villain because the man underneath the suit is fascinating. Norman Osborn is one effed up dude to say the least. He was so annoyed with Spider Man getting in his way that he the battle between the two of them personal. He discovered Spidey's secret ID, revealed his own identity to the wall-crawler and would later go on to make Spidey's life a living nightmare. Gobby not only screws up Spidey's life, he screws up the lives of those Spidey cares about like Flash Thompson or if your name is Gwen Stacy, thinks ain't lookin' too good for you. I've read every early Spidey/Gobby story except one and it

Marvel Wants to Hear From YOU!

In the letter page of Amazing Spider-Man #565, Spidey editor Steve Wacker filled the page with nothing but negative letters from readers that hate Brand New Day. Who says Marvel doesn't listen to the fans? And what's more, Mr. Wacker has even asked us to write in and tell them how we feel. Can you believe that? It takes class to run nothing but angry letters and a couple of those to the right are pretty nasty. My mother actually suggested I write to the editor and state my feelings on the molestation of Spider-Man in ASM. I'd been meaning to write them, but I just never sat down to do so. With the editor of the Spidey books kindly saying that the letter's page is "the place to vent," I think the time has finally come for me to express myself. I don't know if it will get printed since I've stopped reading ASM, but if they take my letter and many others that are outraged by BND to heart, then that's all that matters. Dear ASM Staff, Do you know what
