what issue is the Spiderman artwork from?

 

The rest of the cover is Batman 237 Neal Adams. The Mexican publisher combined artwork to publish their own cover....

 

 

Im trying to determine the 2 combined comics used to publish this book....

 

This in fact may be one of the rarest Neal Adams covers to exist

any idea what the interior content is?

 

I have no idea. No one has ever physically seen the book that I know of

 

It is a rare oddity especially for any hardcore Neal Adams fan

 

i was hoping maybe someone would recognize the spiderman artwork

Fixed.

 

Fixed for real. Only the most brain-dead drooling insufficiently_thoughtful_person would call that a Neal Adams cover.

 

Neal Adams did draw the reaper and CGC already confirmed he would be credited with his artwork

That spidey figure is puzzling for sure. The eyes and the way the mask comes to a point (in profile) at the nose reminds me of Byrne or perhaps pollard MTU , but the inking is all kinds of weird. Could the spidey figure be original to this piece?

 

If its a reprinted shot of spidey it's got to be in that late 70s time frame. I don't recall spidey having a prominent nose peak like that, and eyes quite like that, at any other time. So if this published jan 77.... it's got to be from an issue within a couple years of that date. Id bet its an original drawing (wonky inking) made by looking at US comics for reference

If others disagree with your collecting habits, then it's you that's wrong and you need to refocus.

It might be, as I've read pretty well every Spidey book from that era, and have a memory like a steel trap, and I don't recall that one.

 

The only tug of the memory I got was that (like you mentioned) Pollard or that Frank Miller Annual with Doc Strange and Doom, but that's just probably just a similarity of the inking or the pose.

 

It's probably an internal panel from a late-70's MTU that I never got around to reading.

Its a butchered cover. Looks like someone swiped the Adams figure and drew the Spidey one. Why anyone would want it is a mystery. I doubt mr Adams is very happy this exist.

 

 

I doubt Neal knows it exists but i dont know for sure

 

He hated that the Brazilian publisher added Robin and French publisher messed up the eyes on the Batman 227 editions lol

 

Pretty much all the foreigns i collect are a mystery

you know what run #s I could search?

 

CGC told me if I can locate the Spiderman book they would consider it in noting the married published works (Batman 237) that the Mexican publisher used to "frankenstein" this cover....
