I know I've covered Jack Kirby doing Cap vs Batroc (ze leapair) before in this series, but that's, y'know, Jack Kirby, it's sort of a given that he could draw the heck out of a fight scene. Steve Ditko? Wallace Wood? These aren't guys I'd say are noted for their action; Ditko's more known for his[...]

Stan Lee realized this more than forty years ago when he told his Marvel bullpen that their characters were too valuable to change Keeping things the same while giving readers the illusion of change became the goal And this has worked, more or less, ever since.

Most notably, Amazing Spider-Man #68 (1969) has Spider-Man dumbfounded at the angry crowds he encounters and not at all sympathetic, perhaps more a glimpse into writer Stan Lee's psyche, bewildered and trying to avoid controversy.

To that end, I'm going to leave off Stan's captions, and just focus on trying to script the beats of the fight. I'm pulling this from the back half of the[...]
