Randy
is perhaps the top sculptor in the comic art statue field. In the late-90's
he picked up the license to create statues and busts for Marvel Comics.
His work has gradually risen in price to the point where early pieces
can fetch
up to six times their inital price. The bronze statue and bust above are
based
on the work of Spider-man creator Steve Ditko. It was produced in 1997
and
limited to 100 statues. The Peter Parker bust was limited to 35, to commemorate
Spidey's 35th anniversary. My statue is #15, which of course is the issue
of
Amazing Fantasy where the webslinger made his debut. You can find Randy's
work at Bowen
Designs.
