Spidey 29 in "clowing" Yanchus color!

We are reading through Marvel chronologically (Because that's fun!) and when we get to Spidey 29 in October 1965, what do we see? Stan Lee always tried to make everything about the comic fun, including his winks and nods to the readers on the splash page credits. And who is featured?

 

It's our Flickr friend Andrew P. Yanchus! He's coloring and, perhaps, clowning with the bullpen. We hope he's clowning because we're not sure what "clowing" would be. πŸ˜„

 

If you haven't discovered Andrew's stream, you'll be delighted to follow him as it is day after day of vibrant, four color, nostalgic goodness in toys, comics, magazines, greeting cards... you name it! 😊

As an aside, our copy of ASM 29 is in Marvel's digital format where they overly digitally process everything. We include page 12 in the collage above in its original separation glory.

 

I imagine pencillers and inkers aren't always happy with the loss of detail in the digital processing that a lot of the older comics are going through, but it seems to hit the colorists the worst.
