Description
Todd McFarlane Spider-Man #16 Story Page 18 All-Stat Production Page (Marvel, 1991). "...the page that led to me LEAVING Marvel Comics"! In 1991, Todd McFarlane was looking to leave Amazing Spider-Man to find a title he could write and draw -- then Marvel offered him the new Spider-Man title, giving him creator control. McFarlane describes in a post from 2016 "as time went by, the company began to slowly pull back some of the control they originally let me have. At first I didn't mind, but over time they kept taking more and more. I realized I needed to leave the book and find my own way." The last straw was when McFarlane drew the Juggernaut being stabbed in the eye by Shatterstar's sword -- a shocking panel that didn't pass Marvel's standards and the image was changed in post-production using the collage of photostats seen here. This was the tipping point that led to him leaving Marvel and co-founding Image Comics. From "Sabotage Cross-Over Part 1", a special two-part story which continues in X-Force #4 by Rob Liefeld, where both issues are created in a sideways landscape format. Discolored photostat with minimal ink touch adhered to Marvel Bristol board with an image area of 16.5" x 11", matted to 35" x 18". A collage of stat paste-ups used for Panels 3 and 4, tape along the top edge, with vertical paste creases. Nice presentation with the printed page. Overall in Very Good condition. NOTE -- There is no original art.More information about Todd McFarlane. See also: McFarlane, Todd Artist.
