The Comic Creator Credits In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse
For Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse out today, there are credits for comic book artists whose work actually appears in the movie.
Marvel movies and TV shows often run credits far at the back for comic book creators whose work may have inspired the show in question, especially if someone created a character used in the movie. The Sony movies however don't seem to make that as much of a thing. However for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse out today, there are credits for comic book artists whose work actually appears in the movie. So while Brian Bendis gets a producer credit, there wasn't the list you might have expected for everyone from Dan Slott to David Hine for the characters and concepts involved, not that I could see anyway. Here are those credited as Comic Book Artists:
- Adrian Alphona – co-creator of Runaways and Ms Marvel
- Anand Ramcheron – trading card, cover artist, co-creator of Infinity Runners
- Bill Sienkiewicz – legendary artist on Moon Kight, New Mutants, Stray Toasters, Arkham Asylum, Elektra Assassin, Big Numbers.
- Sanford Greene – artist on Power Man & Iron Fist, Bitter Root, Wonder Gurl, Sonic, Incidentals, On The Stump and Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man
- Afua Richardson – Co-creator of Genius and artist on Black Panther.
- Brian Stelfreeze – Artist on Batman, Black Panther, Fallen Angel, Wednesday Comics, Birds Of Prey, Firestorm Day Men, Matador, Final Crisis, Highwaymen, ICE and more.
- Rosemary Valero-O'Connell – artist on Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Steven Universe and Gotham Academy/Lumberjanes
- Rick Leonardi – co-creator of Spider-Man 2099, artist on Nightwing, Vigilante, X-Men, Batgirl, Daredevil, New Mutants, Hulk, Spider-Man and Aliens Vs Predator
- Matteo Scalera – co-creator of Black Science, artist on Incorruptible, Batman, Power Rangers, Secret Avemgers and Valen The Outcast
- Andy Suriano – artist on Samurai Jack, Cartoon Network, Charlatan Ball, Turtles, Batman Adventures, Cosmic Scoundrels, Labman and Mickey Mouse
Variety tells us "Rick Leonardi, the co-creator of Spider-Man 2099, was brought on to adapt his own designs for the film, while comic book artist Brian Stelfreeze was chosen to shape the visual development of Jessica Drew." Anand Ramcheron tells me he illustrated Spider-Man India's on-screen comic book cover.
While Afua Richardson drew the cover of the comic that featured my favourite character in the movie, Spider-Punk. Kris Anka gets a character design credit as does Ghost Of Ghandi and Die Daltons artist Jesus Alonso Iglesias.
There are a couple of comic book credits in the Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Special Thanks section, but they mostly seem to be for other things, some obvious, some not. Anyone who can provide further context, feel free to do so in the comments.
