👋🏽 not much Andru swag on my end. I’ve been wanting to read this story and the near Christmas full date stamp was too good to pass up 

Look at how improved the art goes from issue 1 with inks by Esposito, to issue 2 with inks by Mooney, to finally issue 3 with inks by Giacoia.  Great improvement IMHO.

Here is another Xerox from the late Dave Hunt while he was the background inker on the Amazing Spider-Man (127 through 170).  Typically he made a copy after he did his inking, but this looks to me like he did one before he started.  

I also have included a picture of the finished original art page, taken from the wonderful Ross Andru Artist Edition, which I absolutely love.
ASM 127 was an issue I got through back order, and not off the stands, so it never really stood out to me.  The new vulture (um, I guess the new new vulture to be more precise) never got me excited either.  

Looks like the title preview for the next issue was changed from "The Vulture Hangs Out" to "The Vulture Hangs High".

This is nice to see 👍‼️

Wonder why Carmine Infantino signed this comic book instead of Ross Andru? Or Gerry Conway instead Stan Lee?

[Spider-Variant]

I agree.  Should have been Ross and Gerry.

Had I been the author, Spider-Man would have emerged victorious and alone, lol.

Yes, classic superhero misunderstanding fight until they figure out their on the same team.  Here's my play by play again, because no one asked for it.

Yes, I got bored one day, lol.

I think it's mostly correct, but Ross did take a few artistic liberties here and there.  But for the most part, he nailed it.

There was a song by All American Rejects, a band called swing swing. That title alone, makes those degrees and lines worth it!

Cheers! @Spider-Variant not sure why "a band" autocorrected to abandoned

Rare cover by rare talents...( not asm)

[ganni]

Wonder how Ross convince dc comics to have Wonder Woman sit on the shoulders.  This is a rare moment.  Not even Betty or Veronica gets to sit on the shoulders.  Or Millie.  I can't find any other covers like this.

I saw it online earlier - the end credits to the Peacemaker TV show - something about the character Chemo, I think - Ross co-created him.

Hmm, never read it and have never watched the show.

 

Good find though!

There were very similar credits at the end of The Suicide Squad.

From The Suicide Squad....

Maybe the next Spiderman movie... the theme song will be "Kung Fu Fighting"
