And don't forget in addition to THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN we got Ross Andru, Gil Kane, Sal Buscema and Jim Mooney in the early issues of MARVEL TEAM-UP.
**********
...and on other titles and later issues we got John Byrne, Alex Saviuk, Keith Pollard...really impressive! Lots of my all-time favorite artists in those lists!

As much as I'm not a fan of his, I think you'd have to add in McFarlane to the list. If you're thinking in terms of influential artists on Spider-Man, that is.

I think Mark Bagley deserves a spot on that list too.

If you're thinking in terms of influential artists on Spider-Man, that is.•• McFarlane's stuff blew me away when he first showed up. I said to then-editor Jim Salicrup, once this guy actually learns to draw he's really going to be something! Unfortunately, he became a MegaSuperRockStar with his art at that level, and so STOPPED.

It was sort of like when George Perez arrived on the scene in the early '70s - you looked at his art, and despite the flaws you though "Wow, this guy is really going to be something!"
And Perez went on to refine his art. McFarlane didn't. I think he was just more interested in making toys, buying baseballs and making money.

Spider-Man might have the greatest legacy of artists of any character.
Ditko-->Romita-->Kane-->Andru-->JRjr-->Frenz- ->Zeck
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------
And now we have:
GAWD!

Wow -- that looks like six different artists worked on it, none being allowed to see that any of the others had drawn!In my early days, I would finish a page of IRON FIST, or THE AVENGERS, or X-MEN (even on up thru FF and beyond) and think "It WILL get better! It WILL get better!" I wonder how many modern artists struggle with themselves like that. When I look at something like the image Jean-Francois posted, I have a distinct impression of the artist sitting back and thinking "Brilliant!" I do so hope I am wrong!

That panel of Spider-Man.....yikes! I blame the whole manga/anime influence that too many artists nowadays use as their primary influence. If they want to draw that kind of stuff, get a gig with a japanese comic.

-----------------
We recently visited Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL as a potential college with my 14 year old daughter. The admissions director we spoke with also travels across the country doing portfolio reviews. I asked him what type of work he was sick-and-tired of looking at when doing the reviews and without allowing me to finish the question he said, "Manga".
Mark Bagley is a graduate of Ringling College.

I grew up going to the same comic store as Bagley. He was always helpful and very generous with his time for a young comic fan like myself. I think he has the record for longest run on Amazing Spider-Man, but I'm not certain.
That panel Jean-Francois posted makes me want to get back into comics because it really looks like there is little to no aptitude needed to work in the field anymore.
