Mary Jane and Spider-Man. INTIMATE SILENCE/ Bazal. 8,3x11,7 in.

"just us"

This illustration of Mary Jane and Spider-Man, created by Ángel Bazal using black ballpoint pen, focuses on intimacy and vulnerability rather than superhero action. The tight framing and overlapping hands and faces create a moment of physical and emotional closeness, where civilian identity and heroic identity merge into a single gesture. Mary Jane stands as the visual anchor of the composition: her expression is calm, aware, filled with desire and trust. Spider-Man’s partially concealed face reinforces the contrast between the human and the symbolic. The webbing functions not as a dynamic element, but as an enveloping texture, almost like an intimate shelter. The ballpoint pen linework is immediate, with loose strokes, cross-hatching, and visible corrections that add warmth and organic texture. There is no spectacle or exaggeration: the strength of the drawing lies in restraint, in the moment before or after action, where love and danger coexist silently. It is a pause within the Spider-Man universe, where the hero stops swinging between buildings and simply exists.
