Of the three puzzles that you showed, you definitely bought the best one.

I bought these three back in 1974 (photos from the web, I got rid of mine a few years back) at the toy store.  I want to say all three were shrink wrapped together as a bundle, but that's really stretching my memory.

I must have loved them, because some of the pieces broke off from wear.   The Spider-Man Thor one is odd, because all it has for a villain is Dr. Ock's tentacles.

 

Nice Cap an Spidey cover on that puzzle can👍‼️😷

Yes, all three had nice art.  I really enjoyed them as a kid.

Nice work, I love that second to last panel.  Can't wait to read it.

Thanks, Spider-Variant!

 

Spidey is gonna fight Batroc, meanwhile Mary Jane has a new friend!

Is there nothing that online cannot take over. 

Give me physical things Ganni. I want to hold them in my hands.

I don't make my way around the intranets very often and so was completely unaware of this thread, despite the fact that Ross Andru is my favorite Spidey guy. Thanks to Reggie for making me aware of it.

I went to a small art con in NJ, yesterday and saw this page. I wrestled over spending the dough to get it, but caved for two main reasons.....

1) I don't see many Ross Amazing Spidey splashes around (I had actually never seen this original piece, prior to yesterday).

2) That is an example of the PERFECT Spider-Man. From pose, to  figure work, to the inks provided (It is either Dave Hunt of Frank Giacoia). When I saw this, I was immediately reminded of the Spidey's physicality, after Superman pulled his punch. 

I am 7 years old, every time that I look at this original piece of art.

I consider myself a lucky guy, for many reasons. This has become one of them.

I don't even want to know what you spent on this Masterpiece, but I guarantee you will look back at this purchase down the road and be as happy as you are today.

I posted a couple of pages back about the roles of the primary inker and the background inker, although admitting there was no delineation of what was what sometimes.  I'm guessing this is all Giacoia here, as not a lot of background in it.

I had never seen this piece before today either.  I was actually just thinking about it the other.

Not a lot of us on this thread, but we have fun, pull for one another, and all enjoy the work of Mr. Ross.

I feel like getting a superhero puzzle now😷😷👍 to do next winter ☝️👍👍a hard 500 piece one ‼️✅

[ganni]

Maybe its just me.  Any art for me looks great in black n white.

Giacoia is good in inking Andru's work.

 

 

[ganni]

Tony DeZuniga's inking is more solid, looks heavy in color.  Can't open it wide. because of MJ center board.

My preference of those who inked Ross during his ASM run were:

1.  Giacoia

2.  Mooney

3.  Esposito

4.  McLeod

5.  DeZuniga

I think I got everyone.  Didn't enjoy the inking in the Giant-Size Spider-Man issues for the most part.

Guess John Romita Sr inking didn't make the grade

If you want a hard puzzle the third- eye black light ones are really tough to do, take hours/days. Unfortunately they are expensive, no Ross Andru art but several Kirby and the BWS Conan one is a thing of beauty.

Oh man, knew I would forget someone.  And he actually inked two issues as well, ASM 125 & ASM 151.

1.  Romita

2.  Giacoia

3.  Mooney

4.  Esposito

5.  McLeod

6.  DeZuniga
