At Marvel, he worked from a plot synopsis and was free to design his pages in a way that played to his strengths (without any help from Romita, by the way). Not so free in the way Romita clearly shaped Andru's 1st TASM issue, the aforementioned "Wolfhunt!" (#125 - 10/1973). Much of the layouts of building interiors and cityscapes Andru would use during his time on the book were already in use by Romita for years, which established the kind of environment a Spider-Man would appear at his most explosively athletic best--the defining guide for the character, although Andru's ultra-wonky style would take Spider-Man off of that natural path.

I don't think I've ever seen what Stan Lee looks like without a moustache, and at this point, I don't want to. There, I said it.

He looks like the baby that Kevin Spacey and Richard Anderson might have had.

I think the objection is that phrasing it that way makes it sound like he did it all by himself. It's fair to criticise overblown claims that Kirby, more or less all on his own, created the MU or was solely responsible for the success of every series he worked on. And in the same way it's fair to question similar statements giving all the credit to Stan by implication.

That picture was taken right after he loaned his last pair of purple pants to Bruce Banner.
