🕸️ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-tober: Day 16- Hornet 🕸️ So fun to see a version of the Hornet costume in the show. The original suit was drawn in Sensational Spider-Man 28 by the great Mike Wieringo, a hero and huge inspiration of mine.

🕸️ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-tober: Day 7- The Homemade Suit 1.0 🕸️ Not sure this suit has an official name, but it appears briefly in the opening credits and is the suit worn during Peter’s first fight with the Enforcers in YFNSM issue 2.

🕸️ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-tober: Day 4 The Wrestling Suit 🕸️ This costume is seen briefly in the opening credits of the show, and fleshed out in the prequel comic. While not tied into the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter still tries his hand at wrestling for some quick cash.

🕸️ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-tober: Day 5- Nico Minoru 🕸️ I am a huge fan of Brian K Vaughn and Adrian Alphona’s Runaways, so Nico’s addition to the cast of a Spider-Man show really intrigued me.

Christos is the kindest person on the entire planet for saying this. I’m pleased and humbled by the comparison, Paul Smith is one of the greats. Here’s hoping I’m doing his excellent scripts justice!

Also in December, the first issue of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2! @ericgapstur.bsky.social is channeling Paul Smith on this one…beautiful stuff! And @mrjefftrammell.bsky.social has been awesome about helping us keep it aligned with the show’s continuity! Hope you enjoy!

I rarely have time to do preliminary drawings for a series, and most of my designs are figured out on the page. However, for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 2 I was able to get these first attempts down to figure out proportions and how I would approach rendering the suit.

Speaking of Scott McDaniel’s influence, his use of the DeLuca effect left a big impression on me. From Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #4, with Jim Campbell and Joe Caramagna.

Changing up the OA inspiration on the board to this gem- Nightwing #14 page 9 by Scott McDaniel and Karl Story. Scott’s artwork has been an inspiration since I was a kid.

Scott’s cartooning and dynamism continues to influence to this day. Karl’s inks lent a solid heft and weight that perfectly complemented Scott’s high contrast approach. And the John Costanza lettering on the board is the cherry on top.

Both fans and imitators key on the mannerisms of Quitely's style: full lips, pebbly mark-making, few spot blacks, visible seams. But those quirks are hung on a frame of high fidelity draftsmanship. The subtly receding shield and gestural hair on the nape of the neck describe the figure sublimely.
