Hipsters of the Coast: Spider-Man Villains
“Good morning, and welcome back to Masterpiece Theater here on Hipsters of the Coast for Parallels, a brand new series exploring Upper Deck’s Marvel Masterpieces from 2016-2020.”
“I’ve spent the better part of the last six months delving into the most recent 2020 set by Dave Palumbo. As I neared its completion, I became curious about how his work would connect to the two “modern” Masterpiece sets that came before him. The 2016 set was done by Joe Jusko, artist of the first Marvel Masterpieces set in 1992 and in 2018 Simone Bianchi followed in his footsteps and completed his own Marvel Masterpieces set with new characters, new Battle Spectra scenes, and an entirely different stylistic take on the Marvel universe. And then in 2020, Dave Palumbo took the reins and once again gave the world a brand new take of these very special characters.”
