Spider-Man 2 opening paintings to be auctioned for charity

Starting September 22, 2004 through October 20, 2004, renowned artist Alex Ross' original paintings, which appeared in the opening title sequence to Columbia Pictures and Marvel Enterprises' blockbuster hit Spider-Man 2, will be available in a charity auction on eBay with all proceeds going to the United Cancer Front (UCF) Women's Cancer Research Program at UCLA.

These one of a kind works of art will be listed exclusively on eBay with all proceeds donated to UCF, which is dedicated to working toward the eradication of cancer. "The United Cancer Front is a unique force bringing together nationally and internationally renowned scientists, physicians, and epidemiologists in a kind of 'Manhattan Project' to fight cancer; a group of diseases that will effect one in every two men and one in every three women," said Ziskin. "Sony Pictures and the filmmakers of Spider-Man 2 are delighted to be making Alex Ross' unique and beautiful artwork available to the public in the service of such a worthy cause."
