Ultimate Civil War: Spider-ham One shot by J. Michael Straczynski, Mike Wieringo, Maike Manley, Nick Dragotta, John Severin, Skottie Young, Jim Mahfood, Ariel Olivetti, Clayton Crain, Laurence Campbell, Chris Giarusso, Todd Nauck, Robert Campanella, Sean Phillips, June Chung, and Randy Gentile. Published by Marvel Comics

In the 80's, Marvel published a comic called Peter Porker: the Spectacular Spider-ham. A parody of Spider-man recasting the characters as anthropomorphic animals. I loved that comic. Not because it was clever. Not because it had great story telling. No, I loved it because the characters were drawn with such strong shape. It resonated with something deep and hidden. I see now my artistic aesthetics are not just a result of my experiences. They are the result of my experiences interacting with what is already in me.
