Amazing Spider-man Annual #13 - John Byrne art

Amazing Spider-Man annual #13

Amazing Spider-man v1 Annual #13, 1979 - A thug named Jimbo Ryan not only steals Doctor Octopus' plans, but murders a secret service agent as well. John Byrne teams up with inker Terry Austin on this king size annual, pitting Spider-man against his perennial foe. This lengthy tale is exquisitely drawn with an abundance of fine details. Pages layouts are clear and concise while maintaining a comfortable pace. Byrne's rendition of Spider-man is as good as anyone's, evidenced throughout the story. The artfully sequenced rescue of a falling Jimbo Ryan (page 31) is especially good. Other artists in this comic include Keith Pollard and Bob McCleod (cover). This is 2 of 3 Amazing Spider-man Annual issues by Byrne.
