Bare-Assed Spidey!! (or Hilarious Colorist Mishaps)

[s-man]

Just ran across this and thought it would brighten a few days if posted.

 

Looks like Glynis Wein may have been fantasizing about Spidey and perhaps subconsciously made a coloring snafu on page 17 of issue______? (trivia). I assume this is Len's Wife?

 

Anyway, after forgetting to "completely" color Spidey's bicep and forearm in the first panel leaving it pink to appear as "flesh", she apparently left 'ol spidey completely "bare-assed" in the 4th. The crude among us will also note that spidey appears to be "farting" some of his thoughts in that panel.

 

 

That is pretty hilarious..good thing it doesn't happen often or Marvel would've been put on the Playboy rack!

Please do if it's not too much trouble... I'd love to see it.

Vince will get it right away I'm sure.

(thumbs u did this issue ever "stick out" in your mind

 

I knew the minute I saw the thread title that it would be about these panels.

 

There was a mention of it in the letter's page in issue 161.

 

Quoting "Spider-Man's seeming lack of decorum was actually an error on the part of our peerless printers..."

 

 

Thanks for the clarification. I always figured it was a coloring issue. So I unfairly assumed that Glynis Wein was the culprit.

 

Interesting that is was a printer issue. I guess some rubylith got knocked off the cyan overlay. That could happen before digital production. I gotta' check out that letter's page to see if there were other commentaries.

 

Yes, I just copied a fraction of the notice. It does go into explaining how the colors got missing. I should have scanned it last night, but had several things going on.

This one is one of the most famous ones. It looks like Wolverine's claws are coming out his palm because the colorist colored his thumb the same color as the guy's shirt.

 

That's not his thumb...his real thumb is colored light green and is seen in the base of the E in 'Daredevil'. The supposed thumb is supposed to be cloth from the green shirt.

I think that's what he said more or less

Less.

And, on top of that, the inker is to blame as well for shaping a thumb out of what should have been torn cloth and the edge of Wolvie's palm.

I'll go along with that one... he initiated the whole "thumb misidentification fiasco" and the colorist completed the screw up.

BTW, someone should notify the PC police that Wolverine is picking on little people as well. Wolvie is supposed to be 5'4" or so. This dude that he is picking up can't be more than 4 1/2 feet tall.

 

ABTW, like the Liefeld Moobies Captain America, this is one of the worst covers of all time, but still might be better than MTU 117.

Had no one noticed how Wolverine's Left arm is bending funny at the shoulder

If I had to guess it would be either ASM 157 or 158

 

Correct... one of those.

You have a good "buttcheck" reference memory it appears.

 

 

I cant resist this opportunity to (sort of) talk to you again. This was a fun moment.

We sure miss you Nik.
