Today has become the day for sketchdumps

Now when I was a kid "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" was one of my favorite shows. It was just really good. This was long before I started collecting comics. I did watch the original 70's Spider-Man series, y'know, the one with THE song (yeah, I'm that old ) but it was HAF that I really learned about Spidey. So it was also my introduction to Firestar and Ice Man. Now I've seen the show recently when they reran it on the Family Channel serveral years ago, and you can probably find all the episodes on youtube. But I was surprised at how fine they drew Firestar back then . Most animated series today seem to do everything in their power to keep female characters from looking like ... well, females (they are afraid of the womanly curves )

It wouldn't be until years later that I realized they drew Angelica almost exactly like John Romita (the good one, not Jr. ) drew Mary Jane in the comic.

Anyway, I think these are the only Firestar drawings I've ever done. I had to draw her in her classic "Spider Friends" outfit, of course. The second outfit was what she was wearing in either "The New Warriors" or "The Avengers", I don't really remember.

I had also seen a few episodes of the old Spider-Woman animated series but I hardly remember those. The very first comic books I ever bought, (I was probaby eleven or twelve) were issues 7, 8, and 9 of "Secret Wars" (they were sold in a pack at a toy store). Issue 7 is where they introduced the second Spider-Woman with the black costume. Of course the very next issue they gave Spidey almost the exact same outfit, which would later become Venom.
