This very detailed Pinup features a nice large image of Spider-Man swinging as he shoots a web line with his right hand, and gets ready to release the webbing in his left hand! The drawing was meant to show the viewer how both penciling and inking were done, as the top half of the pinup is penciled and inked by john Romita, with the bottom half being full detailed pencils! A unique and cool looking pinup here, with a LARGE actual DRAWN image area measuring 17 by 11 inches on marvel cover stock art board, which is signed at the bottom!
