Tip of the hat to Sanctum Sanctorum Comix for doing most of the leg work...
It was drawn by Ron Frenz and measures 34" x 22".
This original penciled version seems to almost be a first draft. There are significant changes between the two versions:
- Colossus and Man-Thing removed
- Power Man and Iron Fist moved closer together
- Hulk completely changed
- Dr. Strange and Iron Man more battle ready poses
- Daredevil and Silver Surfer moved to the background
- Human Torch made a bit more prominant
- Thor flying
- Jack of Hearts added
- Black Widow removed
i'm glad ROM made the cut in both versions.
ReplyDeleteRe: ROM -
ReplyDeleteWhich is odd, since ROM NEVER made it into the pages of TEAM-UP.
He did, however, make it into # 99 of the companion title; Marvel TWO-in-ONE" (as I mention in my original blog post - thanks for the link-love Jason).
Yet, MAN-THING, who was in a few issues of Team-Up (as well as 2-in-1) was omitted.
I guess they did it since he couldn't voice his displeasure.
(because...er... he has no mouth. Hey. Not EVERY joke is a good one.)
That is indeed impressive it's too bad he didn't make it Rom was the man and I for one would have loved to see where or who it could have been to team up with!
ReplyDeleteThis poster has been used as a cover for Amazing Spider-Man No. 1/1990 in Poland.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first Spider-Man comics ever released in Poland.
It's interesting that Polish ASM #1/1990 contained... original Amazing Spider-Man Annual #15 (released in 1981).
