Yup, this is the one ??

The Life and Times of Uncle Scrooge. Best Origin story ever!

As you say, YMMV, and this page simply can't come close to numerous pages from the 'If This Be My Destiny' trilogy or ASM Annual #1, but this is merely my opinion.

Just change the title of your topic to 'Closed' and all will be well.

Yes, a very interesting auction indeed.

+1. I can't imagine how Spidey would have turned out had Steve Ditko's plotting contributions been ignored and it's interesting to note the progression of that significance by the amount of credit Stan gives Steve on the title pages.

After being treated to some incredible McFarlane ASM for a few years, in comes Erik Larsen with the most hideous artwork I'd ever seen so jarring, crude, and ugly that it made me stop collecting ASM cold turkey. What a major disappointment! The only artist to render Spidey worse that Larsen (and quite frankly, I never thought in a million years that there could be someone worse) is Ramos. I looked at the art and I thought to myself 'WTF!?' Regarding the other artists on the list: Ditko --> really paved the way as co-plotter and collaborator with Stan. So many of the Spidey concepts and villains that they co-created are in use today. Can't imagine Spidey without him. Romita Sr --> this former romance artist polished up the characters features and made everyone appear movie-star handsome/beautiful and played up the Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle nicely a la Peter/Gwen/MJ. Contribution towards the Spidey mythos was...underwhelming, with just the Shocker and Kingpin. Credit for the Prowler went to his son, Romita Jr Gil Kane --> as Romita Sr transitioned off the title, Kane's renderings were very nicely done. Some key issues illustrated, and key characters introduced/died. He really should get more recognition for his work on this title. Ross Andru --> loved his work on Metal Men, but not so much on ASM. I always found the way he illustrated facial features to be too angular and harsh, especially on the ladies. It seems as though the civilian characters were always angry. However, when inked by Romita Sr., the are was nice. Perhaps it was just the case of his regular inker, Mike Esposito, not polishing some of the 'harshness' on characters faces. One huge positive I will say about Ross' work on ASM is that he had some of the best splash pages on the title, and he also experimented with double page spreads, and double page splashes. He also introduced some great characters during his run, including The Punisher, the Jackal, The Tarantula. and some unfortunate things too: Spider-mobile, Gwen clone, Peter Parker clone, Mindworm, The Grizzley, etc. Keith Pollard --> wasn't even mentioned. Don't know why. Marvel certainly thought enough of him to put him to work on ASM, Thor, and the FF, and I think he did all three books concurrently for a few months. Romita Jr --> 1st run Romita jr was awesome, especially once Roger Stern was added as the regular series writer. Some great stories paired perfectly with excellent art. Over the past decade, JR Jr's work has been much maligned on the boards, but his style on his 1st run of ASM was, dare I say, Amazing!

There are a few lots that haven't been discussed yet, and I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable with these artists and their works can shed some insight into the auction results on the following: 1. George Evans EC complete 7 page story = $25.25K. I'm assuming this is a strong result? 2. Graham Ingels EC complete 7 page story = $25.25K...also a strong result? 3. Wrightson Frankenstein plate = $46.55K. Good result, bad result or generally in the ballpark?

Up and running again
