GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Not sure whether this would fall into the same category of "not so well known": Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was just fat rolls. I'm used to seeing the Kingpin wearing a suit, not a yucky flesh-colored skin tight T-shirt Link to post Share on other sites

I'm used to seeing the Kingpin wearing a suit, not a yucky flesh-colored skin tight T-shirt I guess those lines could be the edge of the forearms, not sleeves... but the horizontal curve matches well with a t-shirt. "Flesh-colored" is probably not the original artist's choice... it's the colorist. Link to post Share on other sites

XxSpideyxX Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) He also did some great covers for Marvel Tales in the early #200s. He did a lot of covers with Spidey and the X-Men, but this is one of my favorite covers he did across all his Spidey art. Edited May 22, 2020 by XxSpideyxX Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Turns out this magazine reprinted various popular comic strips, including Stan’s Lee Spider-Man newspaper strip. The story here basically follows Spider-Man as he must face a seemingly unstoppable robot controlled by the Kingpin. Weirdly enough, the Kingpin barely appears BUT there is ONE shot of him being massaged and wearing only a robe. So perhaps he is naked after all?!?!?!!
