Too much time now or a lucky mis-spent youth, or more likely the combo.

Never saw the Human Fly or the Black Panther cover before. Damn JB, for a guy who wasn't good enough to do covers, you sure did a lot of them!

It should be noted that Shooter's method of "teaching" basically consisted of constant badgering with little or no positive input, and the only way you would ever know you'd finally figured out what he wanted was when he would suddenly start badgering you about something else!
Another of his charming habits was attacking everybody for doing something he didn't like in a single artist -- whether they were doing it or not! One of the small triumphs of my days under Shooter was when he had a bee in his bonnet about Ross Andru. Ross was then drawing AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and was considered untouchable, but Shooter did not like the way he drew punches. Truth to tell, Ross' figures were a bit stiff, and when someone threw a punch as he drew it there was not much follow-thru from the rest of the body. The punch seemed to come from the shoulder, and the rest of the torso stayed stiff.
To address this, one day Shooter cornered me in the middle of the editorial bullpen, and started haranguing me on this point in front of everyone there. "When somebody throws a punch their whole body has to follow thru!" Luckily, as chance would have it, on the wall of covers of books that came out that month, this was prominently displayed:
I pointed to it. "You mean like this?"
Shooter turned red in the face, and stumped back into his office. I heard no more about how poorly I drew figures throwing punches.
The rest of the bullpen applauded.

Damn JB, for a guy who wasn't good enough to do covers, you sure did a lot of them!•• It used to be possible to tell when I had come down from Canada for an Office visit. Three or four months later, half the books would have my covers!

I know you're not the biggest fan of your older stuff JB,
but that Hulk...wow...I never would have thought that was
as old as a '78 cover date. You can definitely see where
your current Hulk has come from when looking at that cover.
