J.M. DeMatteis celebrates an extraordinary artist, a wonderful collaborator and a truly good guy http://www.jmdematteis.com/2020/

I've really liked his Hulk stuff (mainly during Bill Mantlo's run)-he really gave the character a savage, frenzied look (but also did well with the more civilized "Banner Hulk").

Very much agree!

His Spectacular Spider-Man run (Especially with Dematteis) had some of the best artistic storytelling in comics IMO.

DeMatteis was blessed to have collaborated with "Our Pal" Sal!

DeMatteis on "Our Pal" Sal's work on the last 3 pages of Spectacular Spider-man #200..

"Harry, realizing that he loved Peter Parker too much
to let him die, saves a drugged, weak Spidey from a death-trap.
Peter, his wife Mary Jane and Harry’s son, Norman, all stand by, shocked
and heartbroken, as Harry then collapses, overcome by the toxic Goblin formula."

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

"On the final two pages, Spidey accompanies Harry into an ambulance, they drive off

and Harry passes away, leaving Peter Parker to his grief and memories."

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

"When the ambulance arrives at the hospital, it falls to Spider-Man to tell Mary Jane and Norman that Harry’s gone. They react,

we cut to a photo of Peter and Harry in happier days...and the story ends."


DeMatteis: "It was all there in the pictures.
He had translated my plot so expertly that words would have capsized
the sequence and destroyed the emotional power of the moment.
So I shut my big mouth and let Harry Osborn die in silence,
with his best friend by his side."

My favorite page of Sal's is when the Black Knight joined the Avengers. Happy Birthday! Thanks.

After his debut in Eternals I wonder how long it will be when the Black Knight joins the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
