    Maybe he was following my poor lead, as I had posted a non-Andru cover as well.

    I'll take the heat on this and try not to stray going forward.  :whistle:

    Agree Steve, not a great cover IMHO.  For a long time (no idea about today's books), there were only a handful of covers that featured Peter Parker and not Spider-Man.  Not sure I liked any of them.

    You dont read current comics?

     

    Glad to know l'm not alone.🙂

    I posted this before, but it bothered me, so I dug deeper.  I must not have a life, lol.

    Here is Ross's depiction of the waterfront near the 41st street Con-Ed Power Plant, where Spidey begins his search for the Shocker in Amazing Spider-Man 152.  What bothered me was the building (highlighted on the comic panel) that disappeared behind the coal conveyer structure, which is simply a lattice of metal and should have been see-through, except for the steel girders.

    I think between Ross, Mike, and the colorist something got missed.  I believe the line (as seen more clearly on the original art and highlighted below)  above the conveyer was part of the building.  That means the entire area behind the conveyer should have been building, and colored a different color.

    There is also a little note by Ross below this panel reading "east river".  So, it's nice to know I got the right place in my comparison.  The power plant is actually across the FDR, so I think Ross took a little creative liberties to work it into the scene.
