Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I always loved Ross Andru's Spider-Man illustrations. I also liked how Spider-Man contorted into many positions and even though he was muscular in the illustrations he came across like very light in movements. I love Andru! He was on the book when I started reading comics, so he's kind of the default for me. The thing that stands out is I never recall Spider-Man ever grounded in any of the comic books that Ross Andru illustrated. He's always high above and always on the move giving it more kinetic energy. Also the commercials in Marvel comic books that had Spider-Man (i.e. Hostess fruit pies, etc.) it was illustrated by Andru as well. I also remember the Electric Magazine of the late 1970's and the vignettes of Spider-Man in those magazines were Ross Andru illustrations as well. There's two things I remember fondly from that magazine especially when it was a TV show. The Spider-Man vignettes and ELECTRA WOMAN. What a hottie. |

Nothing beats the look of Italian Spider-man!

Ah didn't know (or remember) that he did the Electric Company comics! I used to excise them from the magazine and "compile" them... my own trade paperback! Well, stapled. |

As for myself, I didn't excise them from the magazine and "compile" them. What I did was cut out the panels from the different magazine issues I liked then put the panels together to form my own stories. And in my mind made up dialogues and storylines of what was happening in the story in my mind. |
