Batman has Neal Hefti’s unforgettable opening credits. When you think of melodies that are indelibly associated with a character the way James Bond and Doctor Who are, you’re left with relatively few options. Danny Elfman’s themes for the Sam Raimi trilogy of Spider-Man movies weren’t terribly memorable (especially when compared to the work he did on the first two Batman films, arguably the best of his career), so the catchy song by Paul Francis Webster and Bob Harris, is where it’s at. This is, unquestionably, the most important piece of music associated with Spidey. The Ramones put their distinctive spin on it as a hidden track on their farewell album, Adios Amigos.

The tune is such a big deal that it made its way (in various sneaky forms) into Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, and most recently, in full orchestral form thanks to Michael Giacchino in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It has the lyrics that want you to know that the title character “does whatever a spider can” and that he “spins a web, any size” and “catches thieves, just like flies” thanks, of course, to his “radioactive blood.” The fact that they managed to get the words “radioactive blood” into a theme song will never not be amazing to me. Terry – we tip our hats (and masks) to you.Everyone knows the iconic theme tune to the Spider-Man animated series that ran from 1967-1970 on ABC, and then endlessly in syndication after that. The coloring and the lines are totally on point, which is probably why this piece has blown up this past week. As far as comic artwork goes, this is a masterpiece. He seems like a truly talented guy so we hope he’s got himself a nice little gig doing something artistic!Īnyone who can skillfully recreate the Simpsons cast as villainous Spider-Man comic book characters, while remaining true to both original styles, is pretty frickin’ gifted. He has an average amount of friends, so doesn’t seem to be some kind of uber famous comic celebrity. For someone who got a heck of a lot of coverage this week (comics geeks ate this piece up!) we couldn’t find much about Terry’s background, what he’s currently doing or even how to get in touch (other than his Facebook profile.

It was designed by Terry Ververgaert and posted on DeviantArt.Īnd that’s pretty much the extent of the artist’s online presence. Sifting through all the stuff that makes its way onto the internet only to find the best gems is no easy task, but every once in awhile a golden nugget like this floats within your radar and makes everything suddenly worth it.Ĭomic fans everywhere can (and should) appreciate this glorious Simpsons/Spider-Man mashup: Simpsons Characters as Spider-Man Villains? Yes Please.
