I believe there's about 24 individual costume pieces for Marvel Spotlight no. 5, so we're almost done. One more post after this one, so I anticipate next week we'll finally be able to move on to Marvel Spotlight no. 6 (and thereafter things will move a lot quicker, as promised).
Today's pieces are a little bit out of order, but include Roxanne and Johnny's "arrival in New York" clothes from page 15: we don't see what Johnny's wearing on the bottom of his über-fashionable wool-collared coat (on which I believe I drew the pockets incorrectly ~ darn. They should be angled and without flaps. Apparently my powers of observation are better the fifth time looking at something). But anyway, it's nearly right. Roxanne's weird mesh-like vest thing seems a strange piece of clothing, but that's what she's got on. She wears this vest and green striped top with her yellow pants and no boots. Once again, I didn't feel the need to redraw an article of clothing already represented with only a variation on the footwear. If anyone's desperate to have a pair of yellow pants for Roxanne in which she is not wearing boots (as shown on page 16), I will bow to your whims and draw them.
The other set of clothes shown here are Johnny's dress clothes from the Madison Square Garden show (shown in full on page 17). Again I screwed up and didn't draw the collar on his blue button-up properly. I'm going to have to be much more careful in the future! Argh! Johnny is still wearing these white pants later when Satan comes to collect his soul. But without the boots. Same deal as with Roxanne, above.
Some small pieces I did not include here are the white gloves and helmet Johnny puts on to complete the stunt that just killed Crash Simpson.
Whew! I'm pretty astonished at all the changes in this one and have so far learned a lot just by having to draw all of it. It's certainly given me plenty of time to study the original comic in ways I never did before (for good or ill!) I'll be back on Thursday with the final post for Marvel Spotlight no. 5!
