For me that last panel is just streets ahead of anything else done at the time quality wise. Something about it just works for me

ASM #33 is my all time favorite comic, pride of my 10K+ collection. My love for this issue is so well known by my friends and family that my brother got me a pretty good copy of this issue as my gift for being the best man at his wedding!

Lee-Ditko "Spider-Man" is awesome.

The final panel always struck me as atypical of Ditko. Did he ink that? It reminds me a lot of Gil Kane.

Raimi should have recreated this scene in SM2when Ock throws him into the wall in the cafe. Then that whole scene would have made a small amount of sense.

One of my favorite comic moments, even if I never understood why Spidey didn't just climb out the back.

So, so beautiful. Spider-Man is Marvel's best known property because it's so easy to relate to him, and the art in this makes you feel like you're the one trapped under there - and the one freeing yourself.

Don't forget that Sam Raimi did a great job bringing this to life in SPIDER-MAN 2. Different equipment, different lives at stake, but the feeling was the same. And I loved the simplicity of Peter telling MJ, "This is really heavy."

That issue defines everything that is great about Spider-Man (and, of course, Ditko).

And Cass is spot on pointing out Waid & Martin's awesome recent arc on ASM as great homage to this issue. Perfect use of the term "remix" too!

"Aren’t we still doing that 100 greatest fights? What happened to that?"

It ended already.

I agree, awesome column idea, although I'm afraid we'll be getting to Infinite Crisis crap by the end of 2009.

Cool idea for a column!

Oh, what a great idea for a daily column! I'm looking forward to to the next 364 days!

Probably my favorite moment in all of comics. Waid and Marcos Martin a few months ago remixed this scene to great effect, with rats chewing on Peter as he lifted. I wonder if we'll see that moment somewhere down the line.

"Its the water hitting him while he suffers and is trying to get out that makes the scene."

That, and how the panels grow with his determination.
