Eh, it’s not terrible but it seems pretty generic to be honest, I can’t imagine this being nearly as iconic as the final design.
I wrote to Jack Kirby historian Mark Evanier about this image and if he ever saw the original Spider-Man image Kirby penciled. He e-mailed me back with this.
“ME: Never saw the pages he drew. That drawing is just one guy’s guess at what Jack drew. It should be remembered that Jack wasn’t trying to draw a teenage character.”
No disrepect to Jack Kirby as an artist, but this is a crappy pseudo-cap, I can’t see Spidey in it
I wonder how his agility and foes would have been like if Kirby made his mark on Spider-Man’s creation
I’m sure Kirby was a wonderful man, but thank god they didn’t use this design.
The site actually says: “Once in awhile I’m going to go through my files and just pull some random images
that probably don’t deserve a whole post. Here’s a funny piece from fakestanlee.com where an unknown
artist has put together a mock-up of what Jack’s Spider-man design might have looked like.”
Anyhoo looks to me like Captain America meets Spider-Boy.
Wow, nice find. I’d never seen it before. Ditko snd Romita for the win.
Wow, I love Kirby as much as the next guy but that sucks. Glad Ditko did Amazing Fantasy #15 and not Kirby.
Oh wow. I can totally see why the Kirby family deserve money off the back of this
