HOPE YOU LIKE IT: The Art of DAKOTA ALEXANDER…
By DAKOTA ALEXANDER
It went something like this:
Dan: “Uh… could you do something Marvel this week? Site’s been DC-heavy of late.”
Ask and ye shall receive.
Understandably, 13th Dimension has been very Bat-oriented with the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Batman TV series this month. So, what Marvel hero could possibly be the appropriate counterbalance?
YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN, that’s who!
And, coincidentally, I actually made a piece years ago that played on the famous LIFE magazine cover featuring the ’66 Batman TV show.
This mock cover takes place in September of 1967, when the Grantray-Lawrence Spider-Man cartoon first premiered on ABC — the same network that aired Batman.
Intended to depict a sort of “new superhero on the block,” we see our favorite web-slinger reading the famous 1966 issue with Adam West on the cover.
Hope you like it.
