AHM #12 Variant Cover
It is a tribute/homage to Amazing Spider-man issue #50 if my memory serves me correctly, and the lettering looks like that on the comic it is a homage to. Don't be such a prat, if you don't have comic knowledge then at least research it before you bash it, it looks really nice in my opinion. I've never read any of these comics but its a really neat tribute, much like the Killing Joke one they did before.
EDIT
Oh, never mind. You didnt realise that I wasnt able to get to the blog post earlier; and I had such a blinding reposte, too. I stand corrected as to the source material.
But I still think it's still crappy lettering, however deliberate.
EDITY EDIT:
And I'd ask you to refrain from making personal insults

I didn't read any blog post, I just knew that it was a homage to Spidey. And I didn't insult you, I told you not to be a prat. An insult would have been to say something along the lines of, "You ignorant prat you are ignorant and should kill yourself."
Or alternatively this would be considered a personal insult....

you could have at least referred to me directly as 'not a true fan'; then I would have had a line on my game of 'internet forum argument bingo'.... but I suppose that's my punishment for not having an intimate knowledge of every other marvel comic cover from every previous era. Honest sir, I'll do better next time...Ackula wrote:I didn't read any blog post, I just knew that it was a homage to Spidey. And I didn't insult you, I told you not to be a prat.

Neither have I -- haven't read many 80s comics and previous, and dislike Spider-Man -- but the style's unmistakably old Marvel, unlike Don's FF homage that changes the composition to the extent the rising Devastator is the main suggestion.borg72 wrote:not having an intimate knowledge of every other marvel comic cover from every previous era.
Of course, signing the thing 'after Romita' might be a bit of a clue... ring any bells? Terrible artist, held in little regard.
I'm not calling anyone "not a true fan". Hell I've never even read any AHM comics. And I certainly don't have intimate knowledge of every Marvel comic cover either, but this is a fairly famous comic cover that is being homaged, and it is fairly distinctive in style.borg72 wrote:you could have at least referred to me directly as 'not a true fan'; then I would have had a line on my game of 'internet forum argument bingo'.... but I suppose that's my punishment for not having an intimate knowledge of every other marvel comic cover from every previous era.
I think you need to develop thicker skin before you fall into one of several categories of previous members that were unable to make it here. This is after all, just the internet.
