John Workman's refusal to use traditional lettering height/leading guides amazes me. I've got to try this technique sometime.

The 1960s pen (left) has longer and equally curved blades, which might be making the difference. This will be my default for bordering comic book panels.

Ruling pen benchmarking to make the thinnest lines possible with what I've got, a 1990s Utrecht, a 2000s Alvin, and a 1960s unnamed brand. The '60s model wins, and it's not even close! #forgottenartsupplies #rulingpen #makecomics #artofthecomicbook

Lee could have written Peter avoiding the protest to protect his scholarship. Instead, he wrote an equally tone deaf parody of student protests.

To be fair, Stan could have dialogued this scene so Peter declines to get involved in the protest because he fears it would jeopardize his scholarship, something students like Harry and Flash don't understand. Instead, Stan wrote a parody of student protests.

Pete's referring to this scene Spider-Man #38 (plot and art by Steve Ditko, words by Stan Lee, lettering by Artie Simek). Thanks to the Marvel Method and tight deadlines, Lee had to script around Ditko's tone-deaf portrayal of 1960s protestors.

He bought the shell on Craig's List for $700, then spent years suping it up as a record-breaking land racer.
