1984 - Anatomy of a cover - Amazing Spider-Man #249

  1. Another cover that looks so much more powerful uncolored.

  2. So true. The background blue seems to pull your eyes away from the characters. The detail of the Hobgoblin's chain mail is lost in the black/grey colouring. Even the yellow of the floor seems more distracting than anything else. A good reminder of how important the colourist can be...

  3. Really liked the look of the Hobgoblin at the time, seemed so new & fresh compared to his predecessor - still looks cool!
