baab said...: as usual wonderful post,check out issue 88 though,It looks like steve ditko drew Loki,there is a slight clue in the lightning bolt,the figure is almost identical to electro's stance and bolt throwing and that face is very steve ditko....; 29 August 2011 17:02
Kid said...: I think Ditko perhaps inked that cover.; 30 August 2011 13:47
baab said...: you may be right Kid.

baab said...: and i reckon that 169 is a kirby montage with the central figures by jazzy john romita...

Joe Jusko said...: Who drew the face on #158? Even with bad inking there is no way that's Jack.; 5 September 2011 18:10
joe bloke said...: seems it's Marie Severin, Joe. doesn't look like her style to me, but everywhere I've checked says it's her.; 6 September 2011 12:42
Joe Jusko said...: Man, I didn't see Marie, either, though I suppose it could be. It's one of those perennially debatable puzzles, I think. LOL; 6 September 2011 14:34
