Unboxing THREE PAGES of Spider-Man Original Comic Art | Three Piece and a Soda 

Early Saviuk on Spider was the best!!!

Congratulations on your pick-ups! The only thing better than getting original art from a great penciller is getting original art that has been inked so nicely over the great pencils. I can remember reading comics as a kid and not understanding why sometimes my favorite artists' work didn't look as great from issue-to-issue. I never realized just how important the inker was until much later on.

Digging the split screen with the original page vs the published version. Neat!!

Tombstone has a classic Spidey villain vibe. I love all the older Spidey stuff. He was always in between pure street level and super powerful characters. Congrats on getting some great art and ty for sharing it!

Collecting Spider-Man is on a whole other level! The competition on heritage gets more fierce.

Beautiful artwork!

Tommy-guns going off and glass flying!! Great page. Couldn't,t thinking what Stan would've put in a cation here: This is a rescue?

Great splash panel through the window. Great page to get.

Song: “I got to play it cool. You gotta look right. I gotta keep it smooth...” You: (Struggling opening box) Total hidden gem here 🤣 Loved the video. The 3 pages you showed were amazing, and the outtakes and in memoriam in the end was a nice touch.

Happy you got those page Karen. They all look fantastic! Congrats!

I appreciate your appreciation in seeing the art for the time and how your feelings and reactions mirror my own. I'm only ever having these moments alone and it's nice to see it in others. Also really enjoyed the montage of "out takes" at the end-end-end

EXCELSIOR!! Those are awesome, congrats! I have one piece of original Spidey art done by a former colleague of mine, but what you have is incredible. Congrats.

Congratulations Karen, those pages are amazing. That last panel on page 13 with Spidey crashing through the window made me go "WOW........" Amazing pick-ups to add to your growing collection. 👍👍

Congratulations on buying those Alex Saviuk pages. My favorite Saviuk Spider-Man work would probably be a cover where Spidey was fighting "Joe Fix-It". His work was really understated, sort of like a Herb Trimpe or Pat Olliffe. Great work! It's nice to see fans who know what they want and aren't afraid to enjoy it.

Saviuk is extremely underrated! He's affordable and available at cons as well in comparison to some current artists who charge insane amounts for small sketches etc. Nice pages!!!

Watched your video and was so impressed I subscribed. Your breakdown of all 3 pages in contrast to the printed comic was enjoyable. Your knowledge of artistic teams, and enthusiasm for OA made me a fan. R.I.P. Carl Weathers

Excellent pick-up💥💥 Saviux’s Spider-man work is incredible 👍🏾

Karen single handedly saving the name Karen in 2024

I will never understand the will power to wait to unbox. Yes - even for a You Tuber. They last about 10 minutes in my house. Three great pages - love the Goblin flashback on page 2

Awesome pages Karen, congratulations! Love Saviuk's Spider-man! I hope they eventually reprint his Spider-man newspaper strip, as I have never read any of it. I know they were collecting the strip in hardcover but I don't think they've gotten close to his era. The strips, particularly the Sundays, inked by Romita are supposed to be really good. Also, if you haven't read it already, there is a Marvel Graphic Novel called Spider-man Parallel Lives written by Gerry Conway and penciled by Saviuk from the late 80's that is one of my favorites. It goes into a lot of detail about how MJ discovered when Peter was Spidey, etc. It's a nice, one story, easy read with wonderful art.

This is collecting on a whole other level!! Thanks for showing us this awesome original art.

Amazing score! Congratulations

Finally! I've been holding my breath for 3 months after that cliff hanger ending 😉

Wow Karen...Taking a page from Caesar's playbook...although you don't have over 20 boxes. Those pages are AWESOME...Congrats. Saviuk does a clean consistent Web Crawler. William's inks are smooth also. Tony Mortellaro was the pre-Romita Raider, as you can see his names on the businesses and billboards on many JR SR/Gil Kane ASM..ie "Backgrounds by Mortellaro"

Excellent job ❤

Excellent vid! Congratulations on all that artwork and thanks for all the info & insights into the work. Outtakes are 😂 🤙🏻

Congrats! Beautiful pages

Congratulations on the art pages! I hoped you had an Outtakes showing you eyeballing the packages.

Those close-ups were great to get a peek at all the details. Awesome additions to the collection 👏

Congratulations, a great addition to your collection, lovely pieces.

Awesome!

Another great episode Karen, but honestly, I cherish the outtakes the best. I have this same mic and you can't seem to touch the damn thing without muting it and seeing the dreaded orange lights.

Great pages. Interesting to see now, as Robbie, and Tombstone have been heavily involved in the current ASM run.

Karen saw comics den go to art show in Florida with artist there was amazed by the art and everything they showed.

Congrats from a huge spidey fan!

I need more original artwork in my life

Congrats on the pick ups

👍🏼👀👍🏼

Okay, every time you tell me you're going to zig, you then zag! What happened to the comic BOOK unboxing??? You sure are full of little surprises, aren't you? Anyway, it's so cool that all three of these pages came from the same issue. You didn't mention it, so did that factor into your decision to go after the 2nd and 3rd page? Although Web was the tertiary Spidey title at the time, both it and Spectacular were REALLY fun to read during this era, owing in fact in large part to Tombstone's introduction to the Spider-Man universe. I haven't read them since they were coming out monthly when I was a teen and I know how your perceptions of stories you read that long ago can quickly change after you reread them well into adulthood, but my memories of the stories were that they were really good back then. It was neat that they were even getting Robbie Robertson involved in the stories and having the Green Goblin guest star as well. It's so cool that you even got a GG cameo on page two! With his classic Romita based style, Saviuk was the right artist at the right time for this title and Williams was indeed a fine inker for him. At this point in time, Marvel wanted the McFarlane style adhered to as much as possible, so you can see that influence in the way Saviuk drew the overly large eyes and how he drew the webs on the costume and the webs in his shooters, but I really like the fact that, at least at this point and for a little while longer, Saviuk still kept Spidey to more Romita influenced poses. If you look at page 4, you can also see that Saviuk is also still adhering to the classic style of storytelling and page design, using primarily square and rectangular panels, although that would end up changing a bit later on in Saviuk's run as the calls to be more McFarlane-esque got louder and louder. But his staging, layouts and camera movement were always very good, as you can see by all the quick movement and action happening on this page, in spite of Spidey only really being a clear, visual factor in one of the three panels he appears in. And boy, what a panel it is. An utterly webtacular pose! Page 13 is great because you mentioned how Robbie thinks Tombstone is about to kill him, and I can tell you that even I as a reader was riveted to this page, ALSO thinking ""Oh no, this is it for Robbie, Tombstone is gonna kill him!" 😂 The thing is, I was already jaded and old enough to know that comic book deaths are all fake as fuck, but Tombstone was always played more as a gangster/thug than a super-villain. So while super powered characters never really kill one another, those of us who know anything about the mob, know that unlike super powered characters, mobsters actually exist and DO kill people. So I was legit thinking he was going to kill Robbie. I love the way he shocks him by telling him they're even and let's him off the hook for shooting him. That's not only a nice storytelling beat, but it serves to make the very next panel as explosive as it is! This is how you get a reader's emotions and yank them up, down and all over the place! The first tier of panels are very tense and dramatic, but Saviuk drops the tension dramatically with the 5th panel as he reveals to us that Robbie is going to live after all, right before ramping the tension and excitement right back up to an even higher degree than it was in the top tier of panels, with the explosive, glass shattering "Spidey to the rescue" scene! Really expert storytelling from top to bottom. Now, even back when I was reading this issue, I recall wondering why 1980's gangsters were dressed as and were using 1930's era acoutrements and clothing, but I LOVE those things from that era so I let it slip then and I continue to let it slip now.😉 All in all, three fabulous pages added to your collection, Karen, congratulations! You did a nice job with the production values as well and as always. Well done, I'm already jonesing for your next one!

Some strong pages there. Boxes wern't very big though.

Karen, first off congrats, they look amazing. If I may ask how much they cost. I recently bought a 11x17 portfolio to start collecting Original Art.

Hey, I just happened upon your channel, with your GI Joe #21 unboxing and subsequently watched this one immediately after. I enjoyed both and look forward to checking out more in the future. Do you have a favorite artist and or writer? And are you reading any newer books or just back issues? Thanks for your time!

Karen, I need one of those pages! Do you have a CAF, btw?

that's fantastic 💯👍
