Rapha1978 Comic Guru Location: North Carolina Posts: 939 My Collection	Posted: December 20, 2018 11:22:35 am Let's talk about our favorite artist on any Spider-Man title. Mine was probably Todd McFarlane and then right after when Erik Larson took over as artist. For some reason I'm also really drawn to Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema's work (in that order), more so than to John Romita's Spidey, which has become a fan favorite for many.

Spector Comic Guru Location: LA Posts: 630 My Collection	Posted: December 20, 2018 8:41:03 pm I am a lover of the classic and original take by Ditko. His Silver Age beauty of art on page, still blows me away. I have been trying to pick up decent above mid-grade to higher grade books of his run of the first 38 for my collection. Waiting on #36 to arrive any day now. Click Here To See The 2Believers! Store!

If he did, let me know the title and issue numbers so I can track them down. "Disliking everything is not the same thing as having an opinion"

His run on Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 was issues 509-528, where he did the covers and pencils. He's done a bunch of covers as well for ASM, but not sure of issue numbers off the top of my head.

Tenzil Wise Beyond the Years Location: Vancouver Posts: 1078 My Collection	Posted: December 23, 2018 3:47:29 am I have enjoyed many Spider-Man artists over the years including most that have been mentioned already, but my all time favorite has to be Todd McFarlane. I really love his artwork and loved his run on ASM. Tenzil
brucifer Wise Beyond the Years lifetime member Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 1133 My Collection	Posted: December 23, 2018 1:25:00 pm I wanted to give some thought to the question posed. Spider-Man USED TO BE my all-time favourite hero until Marvel Comics (and some writers) kept destroying that love for me. My favourite Spidey artists of all time have to be: Marc Bagley, John Romita Junior, Todd McFarlane, John Romita Senior. Last edited December 23, 2018 1:25:12 pm
Jimbo749 Grasshopper Location: NY Posts: 171 My Collection	Posted: December 24, 2018 11:10:06 am Art by McFarlane and Bagley always catches my eye when digging through boxes, so definitely my favorites.
Big Boss Teacher Posts: 282 My Collection	Posted: December 25, 2018 1:41:51 am John Romita Sr. without question.

madtruk Grasshopper lifetime member Posts: 185 My Collection	Posted: March 30, 2019 7:01:27 am McFarlane and Bagley, probably in that order, but ya gotta admire Bagleys ability to draw around all those word balloons that Bendis wrote in USM.

Yoshi2001 Collector in Training Location: Brooks, Alberta Posts: 87 My Collection	Posted: June 10, 2019 10:20:26 pm McFarlane, by far. Not really a fan of Erik Larson, or Mark Bagley. After TM, I guess I would prolly say JR jr. I would also add that I love the J. Scott Campbell Spidey's but, I think he's only done covers, hasn't he?
MasakariPrime Collector in Training Posts: 3 My Collection	Posted: July 3, 2019 12:54:52 pm Can't really say I have one favorite since so many top tier artists worked on Spidey. Also, it's heavily tied to how good the comic was at the time. I'd say Todd McFarlane, Mark Bagley, Romita Sr, and Gil Kane.
Action Ace Grasshopper Posts: 135 My Collection	Posted: August 10, 2019 2:31:20 pm 1. John Romita Sr. 2. Steve Ditko 3. Mark Bagley Romita Jr.'s early art, Pat Oliffe, Ross Andru and Sal Buscema earn honorable mentions
imcubillo Collector in Training Posts: 91 My Collection	Posted: August 13, 2019 6:42:59 pm Everyone mentioned the favorites....TM...is my favorite. However, I do enjoy Humberto Ramos as well..give me a Skotie Young image as well. But what was mentioned previously are the hall of famers
