The Black Cat

Wow. Who knew writing, editing, designing, printing, and selling a novel would be so time consuming?

Okay, so where did we leave off? Spider-Man and The Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do by Kevin Smith...

What makes this mini series different from other Spider-Man comics is The Black Cat. I wanted to feature her on the cover. The red would evoke Spider-Man and with a little webbing, he'd be plenty represented. Felicia (AKA The Black Cat) was a former girlfriend of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Their past relationship comes to play in this series. I thought I would draw Felicia wearing a tee with a Spidey heart on it.

She needed some sort of background. This is what I started with.

Then I glued The Black Cat with her background into the spot in the cover.
