Here is a great example of the Marvel Method over on Scott Edelman's Blog involving Stan Lee and Ross Andru.  I think I have always wrongly discounted the contribution of the artist to the plot itself, and examples like these by Scott highlight my fallacy.

I'll just touch on the last few panels (and that was actually what Scott was highlighting).  Definitely worth a read of the whole plot and story over on Scott's blog.

Check out these beautiful Andru pencils from Our Love Story #17 (June 1972) under the title “When Love is Lost!”  If you look at the one page plot by Stan Lee, Ross follows it, but man did the artist really have a lot of flexibility.  Notice the notes Ross put in the margins to guide his pacing (as is pretty standard practice).  

But Stan changes out the ending a little, to make the story more ironic.  Jack Abel does the ink, and man does he tone down those lips in the first panel.

Hey guys, it has been a while since my last post. You're guys still knocking it out of the park.

I'm coming back to my dawing table and I  drew Mary Jane inspired by the art of Ross Andru above.

Thanks, Spider-Variant!

That is awesome.  Peter definitely has that 70s feel, but Ross never made MJ that sexy, lol.

@Spider-VariantHey VR!. Are you looking for a new apartment?

[Spider-Variant]

Here are the answers to yesterday's trivia question -

"Hunt and Giacoia were captured" in ASM 139, as Liz and Peter search for him a new apartment. Hey @ganni , if I am reading your question correctly, then absolutely you got this one correct! 

"Hunt and Esposito were captured" in ASM 150.  This one was drawn by Gil Kane.  I had to invert the panel to even manage to read it.

I think I liked Giacoia's inks better than Esposito's.  To me, they were a little darker and the lines more pronounced, especially on these earlier issues.

@Winterboy that car is much better than most Ross drew, except the Spider-Mobile.

Oh and I agree with Get Marwood, nice bums all the way around.
