Description THE WEB #2
Written by Angela Robinson; co-feature written by John Rozum
Art Roger Robinson & Hilary Barta; co-feature art by Tom Derenick & Bill Sienkiewicz
Cover by Stanley “Artgerm” Lau

The Web finds himself in over his head as he plunges deeper into the criminal underworld looking for the elusive villain Dr. Archer. With his calls of duty piling up, The Web gets caught in a terrible death trap and in his civilian I.D., he’s found himself rolling with made men. Has the new hero overplayed his hand already?

Plus, the Hangman begins tightening the noose on San Francisco’s organized crime, but he finds resistance in the form of the Ugly Man!

Beautifully mastered `Artgerm. The color scheme is spot on & the lighting intense. Very focused on the main character "The Web" & shows pizzaz. The raw power of mischief displayed in "The Web's" facial expression is absolutelly stunning. You can tell that even out numbered he holds the playing cards in style & favor. Well thought out & pieced together. Love to see more of your work. -Nixirhei

Arent the cards facing the wrong way? If he was the one putting them down, they would be turning around him, not opposite to him.

Waitaminute, the Web? The Hangman? These guys remind me of some classic Archie Comics superheroes (you heard that right, the Archie publishers dabbled in superheroes but discontinued the line when sales went South). Mr. Lau, would you be so kind as to post a link to the publisher's site? Many thanks in advance!

He reminds me of that Japanese version of Batman who was in Final Crisis. The style of drawing for the two characters is very similar.
