There's a whole topic about this on  these boards.

Cool.  I'm going to have to check that out.

I think's more an indication that in the 70s, Marvel's main priority was reliability.  Their roster of pencilers during the BA was dominated by steady, reliable workhorses.

...which brings up another subject, one which I will probably talk about in a new topic rather than digress here.  It has to do with Stan (  ) , editing, the role of pencillers, and books being out on schedule.

News at 11.

Then Giacoia's inks were subpar. 

Blasphemy

When DC and Marvel did their very first crossover featuring their respective flagship characters, it was Ross Andru who was picked to draw it.  (with fantastic inks by the great Giordano)  

Greatest crossover of all time!

I guess. The old collector me, the "get off my lawn" me just laments that comic art by pretty solid but frankly journeyman artists have become valued on the basis of the IP that they illustrated and when that IP was produced, and not on true artistic merit. I get it. I'm coming at this from an artists perspective. Collectors should be able to fan however they want. I'm just here howling at the moon.

Not an artist and see it your way as well.

I track the sighting of Ross Andru artwork by capturing a scan or photo from wherever I find it online.  Things usually change very slowly, except when events like the Ross Andru Artist edition occur.  I'm sure (well, at least I am wishful) there is a lot more art out there by Ross from ASM, but this is what I have captured over the last several years (I lost my original list in the great computer crash of 2015).

From Amazing Spider-Man 129, I have seen scans/photos of pages 3, 10, 15, 16, 18, 26, and 32.  So, 7 out of the 19 pages for 37% of the entire issue being confirmed to still exist.  This is slightly higher than the 35% for all Andru ASM pages.

My complete breakdown (only interiors because Ross didn't pencil many of the covers) per graph below:

if this information below helps out your graphs...here is all andru asm pages i own (these are all STORY PAGE NUMBERS...far right number is how many pages i own form that issue total)...this list was from 2013...

i've added probably 50 pages since then not listed..... and i've sold / traded maybe 5-6 pages from this list in past 11 years.

Thank you Mike.  I'll compare my list but I do track your site very thoroughly and it has provided a ton of information.  I even did a trade for a page off your site a few years back.
