Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #63: “AMALGAM - SPIDER-BOY: FAR FROM REALITY”


 Some back history for those who don't know about Amalgam - via Wikipedia: Amalgam Comics was a publishing imprint shared by DC Comics and Marvel Comics, in which the two comic book publishers merged their characters into new ones (e.g., DC Comics' the Batman and Marvel Comics' Wolverine became the Amalgam character the Dark Claw).

I loved the series and I own all of them.  I've been wanting to create a poster based off these characters.  Here is what I hope is the first of many.

I thought doing one based off the latest Spider-man film "Far from Home" with Spider-boy (An amalgamation of DC's Superboy and Marvel's Spider-Man) would bring a new twist to it and make it modern.

Two villains I came with for this poster are:

The main villain is a mix of Marvel's Mysterio and DC's Mister Mxyzptlk to become Mister Mxyz-terio.  An impish actor from Earth 616, Mister Mxyz-terio possesses limitless mind-bending powers, which he often uses to pose as a hero to get revenge on Spider-boy for his own amusement.

A side villain is a mix of Marvel's Cyclone and DC's Metallo to become Metalone.  An cyborg who uses kryptonite to generate from his body high velocity tornado-like winds and create lightning strikes.

Thanks

Cheers
