  1. How does this benefit anyone? Unless it's for sellers who deliberately don't want to disclose all the flaws in a book?
  2. I knew I recognized your name from somewhere. You're on my eBay 'blocked user' list, and with very good reason.
  3. That's ad hominem, try coming up with a logical and respectful argument instead.
  4. Nice job! That looks really good. The Ditko cover is fine, and really is more dynamic than Kirby's. Ditko just makes some mistakes with the webbing around the chest, and the boot webbing is curving in the wrong direction.
  5. I think Jim Lee is one of the modern greats but he can never do facial expressions except for angry or neutral.
  6. Interesting but strange subject this one, of course Spider-Man was co-created by Lee and Ditko. In fairness Ditko also had trouble to keep the webbing on his costume consistent. In practically every panel there was a mistake with the webbing going the opposite way on the left and right gloves and boots. Compare both of his gloves on the cover of ASM #2 the first one of Ditko, the webs are in opposite directions. This problem continues throughout the issue. Likewise for issue #3. There's even a full-page pinup in that issue where Ditko gets it wrong on the gloves again. Also, Spider-Man's "belt" has either one or two horizontal weblines depending on the panel. Maybe this goes on all the way to his last issue but I don't have all day : ) So the inability to keep the webs consistent is not a good argument against Kirby but I think Kirby was just not expressing himself properly about creating the costume.
