HELL YEAH colorist Jason Lewis also re-masters old covers for Marvel Comics. This one used to give me nightmares and I absolutely loved it. One of all-time favorites from my childhood. I love what Jason did here.
I remember being a kid and just taking images like this for what they presented on a literal level. I was convinced in this one issue that Spider-Man would die, then he would live out the rest of the run as a zombie. It also made me remembering reading the first of Art Adams/Walt Simonson’s three-issue run on Fantastic Four and being convinced the Fantastic Four was dead and that this was the team, both in the comic and creatively, who would take over the book from now on.
Not to turn this into a plug, but one of the things I want to accomplish with HELL YEAH is presenting insane situations and covers like these and, well, having it just be that. Not a twist, not representative of something else. It just is this insanely crazy situation with permanent repercussions. It’s our (Andre + myself) comic. We can do whatever the hell we want.
Cover I re-mastered from Spectacular Spider-Man 148.
