What the Art Shows
What this artwork shows
John Buscema pencils with Jim Mooney inks, from the CLASSIC 1969 AMAZING SPIDERMAN story titled: "THE NIGHT OF THE PROWLER!" I personally feel that Jim Mooney was the BEST inker on AMAZING SPIDERMAN (next to Romita inking himself) Mooney's inks are so detailed that the only inker I feel who inked better in the 1960s was Joe Sinnott!
