@Mets: After Ditko, I don’t think anyone ever made Peter look like a scrawny high school kid besides maybe Frenz and Oliffe.
@Brad: Thanks Brad. In hindsight it kinda makes sense that they would take something from the first “Spectacular” magazine to use for the actual ongoing.
I didn’t know about the corner box thing either and I own that mag. Great job as usual with the panels of the day.
Didn’t know about the corner box thing.
