I recall the Ditko instances, but he isn't consistent with it and it could just be written off as an error - like Bob Banner, or Peter Palmer, or the pupils sometimes found in Spider-Man's eye lenses. Romita Sr. as art director actually made it correct and undeniably deliberate, which is why I site him instead of Ditko in this matter. I agree, though - JB's the man to ask.

I've seen two very cool "how to" examples done by JB, He does a great job at explaining it.

That was from a book called Jack Kirby's Heroes and Villains The Black Magic Edition. Published back in 1993. JB also inked a Kirby drawing in that book.

Really weird drawing. It doesn't feel like it's Spider-Man. Was it inked much later than the pencils were drawn? It just looks like later-period Miller rather than 80s Miller.

I love Frank Miller's art up until about 1982.  Then he changed his style SO drastically, I don't quite know what he was thinking.  But I haven't cared for it since. 

Maybe he thought he was going thru a Picasso-type phase.  But it doesn't do it for me.  He can draw figures anatomically correct and do it amazingly well.  So frustrating for me.  It feels like a massive loss of talent to the world.

I do not care for the inking on the piece above.

Here is the drawing inked by Mike Royer.

Not a fan of the Miller version.  Royer is much nicer to my eyes.

The Miller version is interesting once, but I don't think I'd want to read a full story with that look.
