This was too weird to pass up: I recently came across some scans from an old Marvel promotional catalogue announcing titles for 1992, including the 2099 line, which was then called 2093 (this would have placed it 101 years after the initial publication date; maybe that was significant). Featured with the announcement was the preliminary design for the 2093 Spider-Man, which I elected to color. In keeping with the somewhat goofy nature of the design (horns? Really?), I took a goofy approach to the colors, making him look like he stepped out of a black light poster. Ah, what might have been -- but thankfully wasn't!
