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. Ah, youth!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. Social/Sharing |

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.

Wow! Intro to one of the best villains of all time IMO! A classic page, indeed, by the late Mr. Ditko. Congrats!

Always thought Gwen was a far more interesting character than MJ (they killed-off the wrong love-interest!). Her early appearances, and those thought-balloons telling the reader what she was thinking, always made the Peter Parker elements of ASM terrific reading. Then we have some great Kraven panels - with a nod of the old head to his former partner-in-crime, The Chameleon. Great page!

Something to love in every panel - panel 8 could have come from a Dr. Strange issue too - I regret never picking up one of these, congrats!

As a cover and splash guy, I had to learn to appreciate panel work. And although it makes me feel more than a bit foolish, I love seeing masterpieces like this that help remind me what an idiot I was for ignoring them when I started collecting. The sequential storytelling in each individual row of panels on this page is sheer brilliance.

I love these ASM character pages. Ditko was such a great cartoonist. His character designs, facial expressions and storytelling were without peer. Even with the dated clothing, to my eyes, his art remains modern and fresh. A true master.

Still gazing at this wonderful page; although Ditko probably did it dozens (100s?) of times, I can't imagine a better Petey portrait than panel 6. Ditko will always be the BEST Spider-Man artist!

I'll join the chorus here, Mark. What a page !!! It always seemed to me that Ditko made Gwen's hairpins to look like horns in when he introduced her, to make her a bit of a femme fatale in contrast to the saintly Betty Brant.

Mark, glad CAF featured this page. I never had or read that issue. I had chills looking at those Gwen panels, knowing what is to come years later. I really enjoy the pacing and anticipation of the whole page, and of course the art is beautiful...

What a page, and the cool part for me is seeing the hero and the villain in their private lives. We all know about Peter, but Kraven has a private life as well. Kraven wears a fedora! He looks like he could run a small pawn shop on 35th street. How cool is that?
Ditko gave Gwen some evil eyebrows! I agree with the Gwen as the femme fatale vs the softer, more feminine Betty Brant character.
