#4 — NOT in SSM Magazine #2 (though it could have fit instead of Page 10 )
#5- It would seem that Romita was still learning how to draw Norman’s face. He drew it one way, then decided it wouldn’t work. So he drew another version of the head for the editor to paste ontop of the first version. Thats what it looks like to me anyway…
That is so pretty. What is going on in the third panel with the floating Norman head though?
Interesting dialogue written in the margins! Here’s what I can make out:
Panel 1: (Norman) “…to you!”
Panel 2: (Norman) “I destroy my enemies!!”
Panel 3: (Peter) “The guy I saved from Stromm’s robots!!”
(Norman) “That pitiful fool!”
Panel 4: (Peter) “Then it was you with the rifle at that high window!”
Panel 5: (Norman) “I also offered $2000 for Spider-man dead or alive”
Panel 6: (Mask back on) “Now to work”
Panel 7: (Peter) I’ve heard enough… my turn now!” (Goblin Stupified!)
So it would seem that these panels were attempting to explain all the loose ends Ditko left from ASM #37 where Norman shot the rifle at Stromm and ASM #38 where he offered a reward to anyone who could kill Spidey.
Fascinating! Any word whether this is from SSM magazine #2 or an unused page from ASM #40?
I’ve seen this . They said it was an unused page from issue 40. It shows just how great it would have looked if Romita inked it himself.
Wow. That’s great. JR was so detailed..it still amazes me.
Actually I think that’s from Spec Spider-Man#2 which was the big magazine book. JR can correct me I’m sure.
