Ross Andru's Amazing Spider-Man Club 9 9

[trademarkcomics]

To establish my Ross Andru superfan street cred, here's something I have on my wall:

Original art by Andru/Esposito from Zen: The Intergalactic Ninja #2(Page #27---27 is my favorite number)

 

Beat that!

If that Spidey head sketch is real I want it  

That sold for only $25.  I couldn't believe it.

Oh that's good stuff.  Steve has a page from ASM 137 and I like a fool, sold my page from ASM 145.  I honestly feel worse about selling that than my AF 15.

We've all done it mate. It was the right decision for you at the time. Don't sweat it

Yes, I knew you had that one too, you glutton!

The art from MTU #3 was so much better than Issue #1.  Amazingly so in my opinion.  Mike Esposito inked Issue #1, while Frank Giacoia inked #3.

I found it on eBay for less than $50 bucks a few years ago.

Yes, those Zen pages don't go for much, but I think you got a deal.

It's admittedly not their best work. I'm just happy it has at least one aspect that was very familiar in their Spidey run...the New York skyline.

Better without the hatchings on the roof?  I think it makes Spider-Man pop off the page.

Is that the entire page? Do most artist sign, date, and add notes to all OA?

It's the entire page (minus what I altered). 

No, most art is not signed nor dated.  Sometimes there are notes in the margin, usually referring to the pacing of the story.

Hmmm, not one of my favorite covers by Ross, interesting choice for a re-imagination.

wow. That war wheel was quite effective. It says a lot, not to be able to hit a target from 15 feet away.

Ken Landgraf posted a few photo copies of Ross Andru's pencils he got back in the day when he worked for Marvel. He posted these over on the Comic Book Historian Facebook group. He shared that Marie Severin made the copies for him to study . He also added that "When I was starting out on my comic book art career photo copies like this were invaluable. I had no idea how a professional comic book page would look like. Marie went out of her way to help me improve."
