When I converted it into a cover, the tagline title became pretty obvious. — John Romita Sr. is huge inspiration for me and directly influences any classic Spidey I draw. I wanted something with Spidey really filling the whole cover and yet still in danger. — — This started out as me just wanting to see Marvel and DC duke it out with their swamp characters.
