something about the left leg...

[Aman619]

I was looking at the cover to AF15 tonight, and the right leg just looked "funny". I know Kirby was doing a macho legs apart pose, but swinging on a web? Just seems like the legs would both be trailing behind, ...

 

what do you think?

 

[Hulksdaddy1]

That right leg is messed up. The perspective is off. Always thought that as well.

[nmtg9]

If you look at closely then I think the who.e angle of spidey is wrong. Where is he swinging from and what direction is he going?

 

Aw, you have spoilt the cover for me now.

[Aman619]

well, maybe a little 3 story building. but, I like how the buildings angles work with Spidey. the perspective makes a nice negative space to the right of Spidey

[Mark 1]

I still love this cover.

[Mark 1]

Looks trimmed....

[Aman619]

its cropped all around......

[Aman619]

oops didnt notice the smiley...

[El Toro Rojo]

Always wondered what was next since he's at the end of that swing and his other web-shootin' hand is full....

[porcupine48]

Still a masterpiece

[Bronty]

not necessarily, he could be rounding a corner.

 

whatever. still a classic

+1

I always thought the burglar's left thumb was too long. Looks double jointed to me.

Classic cover. But Jack was not the right Spidey artist. Spidey needed someone who could do limber, and Jack didn't do limber.

Remember the old 60's Spiderman cartoon? One of the stock shots would show him swinging above the city skyline. What were his webs attached to, clouds?

[marvelcollector]

You know, just as an aside, for years I interpreted that cover as Spidey saving somebody and whisking them to safety, not the apprehension of a criminal.

 

Just the way I initially saw it.

Don't ask too many questions

Ha! Interesting, that's how I've always seen it too.

[trmoore54]

Not to mention that he gives his identity away to either (a) the criminal or (b) the saved non-criminal...

[nmtg9]

And the guy stood on the corner of the building on the right. What is he doing there?
