  1. Unfortunately no. A few other non-Andru items, but that's all for him so far.
  2. That's just on the plastic sleeve - I left the pages in the sleeves they came in when I framed them.
  3. Miss those stands and spinner racks. It was always a treat as a kid seeing the corner box and webbing sticking up from behind other comics. I thought Andru was great extension of Romita and Kane before him. In some respects his Spider-Man was similar, but there was an intensity in how he drew things that was unique. In the pages above, I absolutely love the look and detail he gave the Molten Man. I felt like you could feel the flaming metal dripping off of him. People generally have an affinity for the period of their youth, but the 70’s were a wonderful pop culture nirvana. Great time for ASM.
  4. Well, as I mentioned, I had only been reading Spidey Super Stories - my parents preferred those for me as a little kid because they were easier to read and didn’t have ads. It was my grandmother who, not knowing any better, let me pick out ASM #173. It was a perfect jumping on point and seem so epic at the time - Spidey gets shot, villain has some personality and reasonable motivation, intense battle ending with an apparent death - loved it all. I saw the Andru art tracker - for what it’s worth, I can tell you where four of the pages from #173 are...😄
  5. Hello - just found this thread - thank you for creating it. ASM #173 was the first issue of Amazing that I ever owned (it was only Spidey Super Stories up to that point), so I have a big affinity for/attachment to Andru's work. Glad to see others share that appreciation!
