You did 61 editions of comics?!!! That's incredible!!!
And Stan the man signed one of them too - aw man awesome!
If you ever decide to scan them in for posterity - I wouldn't mind having a chance to read them - I love indie comics!
Well... thank you. Issues 1-54 were mostly 1-2 pages long, kind of like a Sunday newspaper strip. There wasn't much story, just a lot of action with a cliffhanger on the last panel. #55-61 had 8-10 pages on average where I tried to put more character development and a storyline. A couple of the latter ones were just condensed versions of classic Spider-Man stories (like the origin) that were already written.
So getting one of them signed by Stan Lee isn't too far-fetched, since much of the words I used in my version of Spider-Man were his
I was able to get his signature at the Calgary Entertainment Expo last year -- fans lined up to get their comics signed by him. So I figured, why not get one of mine signed?
I probably should scan and post them online on my blog, if only as a curiosity and get Spider-Man fans to read or peruse them. While not officially part of the "canon", I suppose it can be considered to be an alternate universe. The early ones are drawn rather badly since I only had access to a ballpoint pen. It was only later when I got a proper ink pen where my drawings improved.
I look forward to seeing your game, btw.
