Ditko, Romita, Kane, Andru.

Gil Kane and Ross Andru were vital to ASM continuity. Some of my favorite issues involve their art. Hard to leave them out. That's the problem with rankings. All in good fun though. We should just build a rotating heads wall of champions and put as many ASM artists as we want on there

Bagley broke Kirby's record for most consecutive issues of a single (non-self published) title penciled. That's a gigantic deal for any generation of comic or artist. 

I really liked his work on USM, especially when he was inked by Thibert.   

Bagley USM > Bagley ASM

So I’ve fairly ignorant when it comes to original art…..

Is there much early Dikto Amazing Spider-Man OA in existence? For example I always think about those Sinister Six splashes from the first Amazing Spider-Man annual. Do they exist? Is their ownership known?
