Since the author indicated the list is based on his nostalgia as the predominant factor, so be it. Mine would differ significantly.

bobotski Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Not popular, but I liked Larsen's Spidey art (storyline not too much though). Not sure about JRJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Romita Sr. Is #1 for me, but Ditko isn't far behind. I grew up reading McFarlene. I won't go so far as to say he's the reason I collect, but he was a major influencer of my childhood. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list is totally invalid because it totally ignores the second half of the run. Literally no artist on his list did appreciable work on ASM after issue 400 - in other words, it excludes literally every Spidey artist of the last 20+ years.

Spider-Man for more than 110+ consecutive issues. That book, and the new interpretation of all the Spidey villains and supporting cast, *was* him. He can't be ignored in the pantheon of Spidey artists. Granted, this was all 2000-2010, and a bit more evolved from his '90s work on ASM. piper, THE_BEYONDER and Ken Aldred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRJR penciled ASM for 3 years in the 2000s. I grew up with Bagley Spider-Man so he's my #1. Kon_Jelly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagley's also back on ASM now, so technically he counts too? And I'm with you - Bagley is the artist that I associate Spider-Man with since that's when I started reading. I also don't really hold McFarlane as high as most people. I understand his influence to the character, but my god his MJ was awful. jason4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to drawing people, there's always been something about them that i've never really liked. I'm not even sure what it is exactly. But when it comes to his costumed hero work, they're undoubtedly cool. I love how he made Spider-Man's eyes bigger for example. Or how dynamic the artwork/poses look. He's top 10 for sure, but I wouldn't place him in my personal #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Aldred Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Romita Sr for me, particularly his 70s art, with the darker line work and shading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly like the later issues with the much smoother inking style of Scott Hanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had nothing to do with him following McFarlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
