The Small Press Virgin

Some more of 2007's work...

This time we've got, from the pages of Spider-girl, Peter Parker's failed clone Kaine!

From what I hear, a lot of people think of that era as one of Spider-man's worst. But not me, no sir.

I came into US comics right at the end of the clone saga so perhaps that's why I still look at those guys in a good light - I mean, I liked the Scarlet Spider and was jazzed when he took over all the Spidey titles (for all of 2 issues!!!). Kaine, the death of Aunt May, The Great Game (El Toro Negro, Joystick et al) and then Ben Reilly's new supporting cast when he took over as Spidey fulltime, they were all responsible for dragging me into Marvel Comics and taking all my hard-earned money.

I got just £21 a month from washing cars -- it musta all gone on comics back then...not only Spidey but, well...maybe I'd better sketch up some other memories of that time,eh? ;-)

ps. speaking of Spider-girl - here's a pic of the main girl herself. Quite possibly one of my favourite titles of recent years, at least before the reboot anyway. (One too many blatant swipes put me off of Frenz for now)
