We’ve been given a sneak peak at tomorrow’s Amazing Spider-Man Family #8, drawn by Chad Hardin. The issue hits stands tomorrow, July 1st, 2009.

Chad was kind enough to send over some pages and answer a few questions.

Be sure to head over to his blog and follow him closely. You’ll be seeing a lot of great things from him: http://hardinartstudios.blogspot.com

Big Shiny Robot!: How did the opportunity to pencil this issue come about?

Chad Hardin: Ironically it happened at the San Diego Comic Con talent search way back in 2007. Chris Allo saw my stuff, really liked it. After I got his email it was a matter of following up until they gave me stuff. I actually penciled this way back in December of 2008. Steve Wacker, was happy with what I did so he handed me the Back-up story to the Marvel Apes story line 3 of which were printed before this book came out.

BSR!: What’s your favorite thing about drawing Spider-man?

CH: Just the fact that I’ve loved Spider-Man since I was 4. it was like… super wish fulfillment. I really hope I get to do it again.

BSR!: What’s the most challenging thing?

CH: I used to think it was the webbing on the costume, but after doing these pages I’d have to say its all the crazy contortions Spidey does to evade bodily harm. Weird poses, fun but weird.

BSR!: You have any other Marvel work coming up?

I believe I have one more back-up in Marvel Apes, the last part of the “Darwin” story. After that, its DC for a while. I need to drum up some more Marvel stuff for sure!

(If you guys want to see Chad doing more Marvel work, be sure to go to the Marvel message boards and demand it! http://marvel.com/boards/)

In the meantime, look for Chad’s work in DC’s Warlord #4, 5 and 6. Be sure to add it to your hold.
