The ASM 167 Splash with that vertical partition on the One Penn Plaza building has been on the back of my mind for years.  Like why would Ross add this to his drawing when all the other details matched so perfectly.  It wasn't on the real building, so why ad lib.  Well, now I know he didn't, it just wasn't a permanent part of the building.  He got it perfect.

I do think he used this postcard as reference.  We know Ross used a postcard of JFK for ASM 143-144 and he also used a car brochure for his Pan Am World Port in the same issue.  

Or he had a chopper.

Choppers were every where 

Then after Ross stops drawing...... there gone

RATATATATs had their place, but I always appreciated a well judged use of BHUD-UD-UD-AH!

@Spider-Variant  Thanks for the heads up on this place! Some amazing content in here as I have catching up to do. Have to pull my OO ASM from the 70s to revisit. This time period was definitely my favorite for ASM and the art work indeed was a big piece of this. 

[Spider-Variant]

@70s80sTimeMachine There are some super knowledgeable people in this thread and everyone gets along.  Win win

RATATATATs,  BHUD-UD-UD-AH!.... so how does one spell the sound of a helicopter?

Looking at those pages you also get a great sense of how Ross expertly moved his camera angles around to great effect. Such an under rated run.

Ross Andru Thread Trivia Time!

Without looking back in this thread, name the background inker for this panel and what clue he left?

Bonus - Name why he left the clue?

Super Bonus - Name the inspiration for the clue?

If you can answer these questions, then the coveted Ross Andru Thread No Prize is yours, along with a picture of @Get Marwood & I's half eaten Twinkie from 1976 (he informs us that he recently ate it and it is no longer in play.)

Hotess Fruit Pies are acceptable brain food too.  Well, they were when I was growing up.  Lost some flavor over the years.

I haven't picked up an Issue of Amazing Spider-Man since issue 600 or so, so I don't follow it.  I do look at original comic art boards from time to time and recently found this from Amazing Spider-Man 640.  It was nice to see a recent (12 years ago, lol) artist, Paolo Rivera, depict NYC like Ross Andru was famous for doing.

I thought this was a very good rendition of the Queensboro bridge and surrounding area.  He even included the stack.  Ross's versions below.  The Queensboro bridge was probably the landmark Ross put into ASM more than any other.
