Amazing Spider-Man #21 through #25.

Mr. Ditko begins to REALLY cut loose and come into his own. This was his dream come true. He was going to now live the life of Roark from THE FOUNTAINHEAD. Lee was his foil Peter Keating and Ditko was Howard Roark. No shit, this was the real deal. And Ditko was making it happen, bound and determined to make fiction into reality.

Continued from 16-20.

Holy crap! Ditko was doing things that hadn't been done with superhero comic covers since...well, since EVER! I wonder if Ditko actually used the Torch here without nagging from management. As I said, Ditko had a way with creating some chemistry between these two heroes.

There hadn't been a cover quite like this one since the days of Jack Cole at Quality's PLASTIC MAN. How does one show animation in a static 2-D image? THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE, YOU MERE MORTALS!!!

"HA!" Says Ditko. "I'll have a cover for Spider-Man which doesn't even have Spider-Man IN it!" (Top that, bitches!)

Teenage angst!

Suck it, Lee!
