DescriptionWhen this book came out, I was twelve; and like any normal, self-respecting, twelve-year-old boy, I'm certain I gawked at panel three. However, if I were being shamelessly honest, I might admit that I’d also gawked at panel three quite recently.Although The Amazing Spider-Man does not grace this page, I love the three, separate, and complete Ditko triptychs: makes me think of the sum of the parts and the whole.

Wow, this is a great character page, Mark! It gives you Harry, Gwen, Peter and even Kraven, uttering a classic line in the final panel! Congratulations on this fine addition!

Another Ditko ASM page? Wow, I can't wait to see this in person. There are so many interesting things happening on this page, but I was initially most drawn to those creepy masks in the middle of the bottom tier. Big congrats Mark!

I loved Ditko's rendition of Gwen, and I think he definitely drew the best Peter Parker. Plus, the villain they should have made a movie about (and still haven't!) Outstanding page.

Like friend Lee I really love the masks too, but it is really Gwen who steals the page!

Great page -- one thing I like is the encroaching darkness as your eye goes down it. The lightness of the top panels, where it's just kids having a soap opera, and how it gets more shadowy when Peter is thinking about doing his Spidey thing, and then the last tier, with the Dr Strange-like rooftop, the crazy face decorations, and the slashes of fabric on Kraven's outfit. Some of the later Ditko issues, he was on cruise control. Not this one. Really atmospheric, congrats!

Amazing Spider-man page. Love the early Gwen drawings. This must have been a very early appearance.

My introduction to Gwen happened during the latter stages of Romita's run where, and this was true even on into Kane's tenure, she was all sweetness and light and seemed very much a girl out of a romance comic. But the first time I saw Ditko's original version, she seemed almost another character entirely. Ditko had her rocking that Veronica Lake look, which I found far sexier than Romita's version, but more, she was also clearly smart (smarter?) and fiercely determined, and there was something more (or at least different) going on internally with the character as well. That third panel shows a Gwen I never really saw until I came upon Ditko's original run.

Mark, a wonderful page. I love the three tiers of three panels where each tier contains its own atmosphere and story thread; something Ditko was/is an absolute master of. I too remember buying this off the newsstand and being fully engaged with a great cover and a tight and visually engaging story, your page typifies perfectly.
