The art was lovely, but it was somewhat anti-climactic since I'd read the story literally hundreds of times. Foolish, I know. There's a small bit of new information to be gleaned from the artwork, where Stan Lee asked for changes, but Ditko followed his pencils very closely so there's not a lot of underlying drawing.
The entire comic book art is there, so there are three other stories with Ditko art that aren't seen nearly as often.
I really can't think of any better home for this than the Library. Lee and Ditko's creation has become an American icon over almost 50 years now. More pictures are here.
OOooooooooooooooh!

ReplyDeleteReally? Well, *I* sure can; I'm looking at an appropriate wall space right now...
Man, I must get down there to see this!
