Patrick Gleason Puts Webhead Into Amazing Spider-Man #83 (Spoilers)

When Patrick Gleason drew the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #55, he may not have realised that it as a design it will probably outlast him. Indeed, since then, he has made quite a cottage industry of these web-sketched headshots of characters, both as variants for Marvel Comics titles as well as for his own studio, sold direct to collectors.

But in today's Amazing Spider-Man #83, Patrick Gleason writes and draws Spider-Man for the first time together and, creating a hallucinatory event for Peter Parker, suffering the effects of radiation poisoning, and overcoming the effects of his own Spider-Sense, creates a fiction for himself as a young boy and sees, through the window at night, something rather sinister.

The webhead Spider-Man, no longer a cover, now an actual part of Spider-Man's story, at least how he experiences it in this issue. Including the little spider herself, spinning her Spider-Man out of her webs.

Even solidifying the webhead Spider-Man, just as we would see in subsequent Webhead variant covers.

Will we find a way to return to the Webhead Spider-Man in future Spider-Man comic books? Or is this a one-shot deal for Patrick? Maybe there might be some other webhead versions of various comic book characters who might also fandy such an experience in upcoming titles…
