AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #22. Can anyone read the last two words of Lee's note to Sol Brodsky? I think it begins, "I guess you'll have to respond this..."
Cy Berry: No other Spiderman, for me.
Patrick Ford: Check out the gratuitous sexist insult in panel three. Compare to the way Kirby handles a similar scene:
Aaron Noble: Not sexist is the least of Kirby's virtues here. Check out his astonishing definition of 'gentle'!
Patrick Ford: Yeah, it's a fantastic dialogue sequence.
And the drawing of the Panther's face in the third panel is incredible on several levels. The nuanced emotion speaks volumes and the abstract black areas which form the nose are unique.
Michael Hill: "...this whole line, Sol." Not sure about "respond." Maybe "redraw"?
Michael Hill: Respace?
Patrick Ford: I think that's it. "Respace." The line "As they think" has been lettered over whiteout.
Patrick Ford: Lettering by Sol Brodsky.
