Erik Larsen just posted a before and after cover of Amazing Spider-Man #35 on the Jack Kirby Fan page.
Steve Ditko drew the cover on the left which was published in Italy. His editor Stan Lee evidently didn’t like that version and had Jack Kirby re-draw Spidey and place it on Ditko’s background. Ditko left three issues later? Could this be the final straw that made Ditko walk out?

I agree about the web pits. They’re in the wrong place. It doesn’t look bad, but it is clearly wrong.
Looks to like Stan The Man got it right!
I like Steve Ditko’s version (left) because it showas clearly how spidey’s signal is straight and that he is hanging by 2 hands, very spidery like hehehe…waiting for it’s prey to come…
Is it just me or are the web pits on the left image in the wrong place, i.e. in the elbow crack, not the pits?
@2 – Be careful or that will be someone’s message board question in the next podcast.
Yeah I prefer the image on the right too. Has Spidey’s ass ever been that prominent on a cover? LOL
I guess Stan didn’t want’s Spidey’s ass to be the first thing the reader saw when they picked up the book.
