More Spider-Man by Saviuk

Saviuk‘s Spider-Man work doesn’t stop with Web of Spider-Man. He also drew the The Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives graphic novel (1989, image below). And Saviuk worked on the series Spider-Man Adventures (1994-1996, later retitled The Adventures of Spider-Man).

Drawing Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash: What a great first job!

His first job with DC Comics in the 1970s had him illustrating titles like Green LanternThe Flash, and Superman — what incredible first assignments! (Editor’s note: My first job involved a great deal of fetching coffee for grumpy people).

Saviuk illustrated The Flash issue where Iris Allen dies

Of particular importance, Saviuk drew The Flash #275 (July 1979), which is the issue that Iris West Allen was killed.

Saviuk drew Green Lantern Green Arrow #100

Saviuk’s first full work for DC Comics was Green Lantern #100 (Jan. 1978), which introduced an updated version of the Air Wave character.
