1997 Ultra Spider-Man Original Preliminary Sketch By Greg Hildebrandt - Card #69 "Original X-Men" - Signed by Greg Hildebrandt .
The 1997 Fleer Ultra Spider-Man card set captures the wall-crawler during one of the most visually experimental and stylistically bold periods of 1990s Marvel comics. Produced with Fleer's signature Ultra gloss and crisp printing, the set features dynamic character portraits and action-driven compositions that emphasize Spider-Man's agility, rogues' gallery, and expanding supporting cast. The artwork reflects the era's sharper line work and heightened energy, while the clean layouts and vibrant color palette give the cards strong display appeal.

The artist helped define modern fantasy and science fiction illustration. Renowned for his mastery of light, texture, and expressive figure work, Greg contributed to iconic projects including The Lord of the Rings calendars, Star Wars posters, and numerous comic and fantasy properties. His ability to blend classical art techniques with contemporary pop-culture subjects made his work instantly recognizable and widely influential.
