Look Here: Two Self-Portraits from 1914, by Egon Schiele
"This day's experience, set in order, none of it left ragged or lying about, all of it gathered in like treasure and finished with, set aside." –Alice Munro, "What is Remembered"

Ever see the Bill Sienkiewicz SPIDER-MAN cover where he nicked a Schiele pose? (at least he said ‘with apologies to Schiele’ on it)

No, I haven’t, which is odd, because I used to be a fairly devoted Sienkiewicz fan (though I tended to restrict my purchases to work that was entirely by the hand of the master; “Inked by Bill Sienkiewicz” was seldom enough to get me to lay my money down). But then again, I stopped buying superhero comics with art by anyone other than Richard Corben a long time ago, so I guess in that sense, it’s not odd at all that I missed that Spider-Man cover… anyway, if you know which Spider-Man comic in particular had the Schiele-homage cover, please post the title and issue number, because I’d love to see it.

Just searched http://www.coverbrowser.com/ and found Sienkiewicz’s cover for Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #133, which includes the year, 1987, and the note “After Schiele,” although I must say, “Apologies to Schiele” would have been more appropriate, as Sienkiewicz’s indifferently delineated, awkwardly arranged, conceptually dubious cover seems a lot more like a lampoon of Schiele’s sensitively limned, elegantly orchestrated, fearlessly frank self-portraits than an homage to them.
