Jon Godson: You know, the more I see of work of Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, the more I realize that the two guys have yet to receive the proper accolades for their talent. They were the real thing.
Jon, the Andru/Esposito Spider-Man was my first exposure to the character on the printed page (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #167 was the first issue I ever bought -- with Tooth Fairy money, no less! -- after seeing some of the 1960's animated episodes in syndication), so I remember their rendition fondly. I completely agree that they get overlooked a lot.
And, just to bring Slurpees back into it, I made that purchase at a 7-11. Gotta love those spinner racks.

I agree about Andru/Esposito, they had a long run on Spider-Man with many Romita covers. They also were the main Wonder Woman and Metal Men artists for DC before going to Marvel.

Frank, I hope Robert won't mind me chiming in, but that cup is "Super-Stan" I had that one. And yes it was as goofy as it sounds.

The comments about Keith Pollard bring to mind a question... who was the first black artist in comics? I know Pollard, Ron Wilson, and Billy Graham all broke in around the same time. Were they the first, or was there anyone before them?

Does anyone have a copy of that complex picture/maze of the bullpen (as
drawn by Marie Severin?) that shows where everyone worked and all of the
freelancers hanging out?

Jason, "good girl" artist, Matt Baker was African-American, I believe. I'm not sure, but I think Mac RaBoy was, too.

Mac Raboy was not African-American. Not that there's anything wrong with
that.

Yep - that was indeed Super-Stan. I used to have the entire set as a kid - and luckily I liked the Slurpees that came with them. I'm guessing I was maybe 12 or 13 at the time.
