C. Vess was # 7 in my top ten poll. You can “write” him in under “other.”

1.  Steve Ditko.

2.  John Romita, Snr.

3.  Mike Zeck

4.  Other . . . probably Jack Kirby (who did a back-up story in # 8, plus had a hand in a few early covers).

Vess does beautiful work, but how much Spidey did he actually draw?

On ASM, roughly the same amount of work as  Saviuk, Leonardi,and Sal Buscema, which were all listed individually instead of being lumped as ‘others’

regardless, you asked for the top 4 Artists, and to me that doesn’t equate to quantity being greater than quality.

Wait.... I just looked up Charles Vess on Wikipedia. It says he drew one issue of ASM and one Spider-Man Graphic Novel (Spirits of the Earth). Am I missing something?

Hi why is Humberto Ramos not on the list? He's drawn more issues of ASM than multiple artists on the list.

Because looking at this art

inspires this reaction in many people, including myself:

I will agree that cover is not my favorite image he’s drawn either.  But in terms of number of ASM issues drawn, number of Spidey verse characters created, relevant stories (even if not part of what most of us read) i think he should be on the list.

I also grew up in the 70s and am also a fan of every ASM artist since then with some more than others.  But someday, this generation who grew up reading and looking and appreciating Ramos art will replace us after we’re gone.

To each his own for sure but i guess if he’s excluded, should it be noted that there is a cutoff for this list w respect to the era from which the artist drew on ASM?

Maybe it should read “Rank ASM artists pre 2000”

Didn’t Ramos draw the most issues of ASM of all time?

I don’t know about Ramos or  ASM.

But the man who tripled the out put of even Jim Mooney on ALL Spidey art, a man whose name shall not be mentioned, a man who has been 99% erased by ARTSOC....

Yeah, to be voted for under 'Other'.  Don Heck's not on the list of nominated artists either, and I think Marie Severin had a hand in some of the cover designs.  Problem with compiling a list of artists to vote for, it's all too easy to forget a few names.  In any case, I just regard this topic as just a bit of fun.  If we wanted to talk about artists who made the BIGGEST contribution to the title, there's only one name . . . and it's that of Spidey's co-creator.  Without Ditko, we might not even be having this conversation.
