Yet another cover variation for you, Criv-ite chums, this time 'round The AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #11. Up above is how STEVE DITKO originally drew it, but fearless leader STAN LEE wasn't happy with the way Sturdy Steve had drawn the web-spinner's legs, so got Jolly JACK KIRBY to 'fix' them before publication (as you can see below). And, as I'm sure you'll already have noticed, DOC OCK's face looks like it's also been slightly revised.
But wait, that's not all! When the ish was reprinted in MARVEL TALES #148 in 1982, the cover was flipped, Spider-Man's legs were again redrawn, Doc Ock's face was 'slimmed down' even more - and he was given a new pair of glasses that didn't quite sit right. Three versions of the same cover is going a bit overboard, even for Marvel!
So whaddya make of that, frantic ones? Personally, I don't think the right leg Jack drew is an improvement. Feel free to leave a comment in the you-know-where.
And just so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything, below is the Marvel Tales version. (How to ruin a Steve Ditko cover without even trying.)
