Great Moments in Black History #04: I’m a hustler, baby.

hypno_01hypno_02hypno_03
from marvel’s spider-man: reign, words and pictures by kaare andrews

(spider-man: reign is much maligned, but i really, really enjoyed it. andrews “gets” spidey and the spider-marriage in a way that a lot of people don’t. it isn’t perfect, and its flaws are obvious, but overall? i like it. look for a piece on it later this week.
also i don’t want to write comics, but let me find out marvel wants somebody to pitch for hypno hustler. i’m on it.)
