For today’s post we have a brief entry in the occasional
series where I endeavour to highlight the visual or narrative symmetry between the Spider-Man and Spider-Girl comics.
For this entry of Spider-Symmetry,
we are taking a look at just the MC2 comics. For this installement, we
must credit the amazing penciller Pat Olliffe and as you’ll note soon
enough, MC2 co-creator, artist extraordinaire and friendly
fella, Ron Frenz.
Spider-Girl #31 gives us this delightful cover from Pat
Olliffe, first published in February 2001, of May ‘Mayday’
Parker as Spider-Girl surrounded by floating heads of guilt.

Now, here is Pat Olliffe’s gorgeous cover to Spider-Girl
#45 which was first published in March 2002. In a direct reference
to his earlier cover, we now have May ‘Mayday’ Parker in her civilian
attire surrounded by Spider-Girl costume design concepts from the
in-universe clothing store, the Spider-Shoppe.

And with the Spider-Shoppe connection, lets segue to the
cover of Spider-Girl #91 by the rambunctious rascal Ron Frenz,
which was first published in October 2005. This cover continues the Spider-Girl
costume designs concept from the cover of Spider-Girl #45 by continuing
the theme. There are even some repeated designs
both here and within the story itself.
Okay, that is a wrap for this entry!
Until I find myself surrounded by cosplay costume variations
or floating heads of guilt, I remain
frogoat
