Here’s another one of my superhero mini-pinups: Trapster. Unlike some of the other b-list characters I often find myself drawing, I actually have a real fondness for Trapster. Like a lot of comics-reading folk my I age, I grew up reading the John Byrne Fantastic Four and I recall really liking the issue where the Trapster tries to infiltrate the Baxter Building but is eventually (and embarrassingly) defeated by the FF’s robot, H.E.R.B.I.E. (Issue #265, I think). From my digging around on the internet, it looks like his costume has been changed significantly since then, but I’m still partial to the one here from The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
The original art for this is for sale here.
