You know, I've been going back and re-reading the original 200 issues of Spidey (through Essential Spider-man volumes), and it struck me, that a large part of the visual appeal of Spidey's comics is the poses and body language as he is drawn. Study any given issue, and when he is fighting hoods or super villians, he doesn't merely assume a boxer's pose, but he is flipping around, fists pumping out to score hits, jumping and twisting. Plus all the unique web swinging poses. Man, I bet that was fun for the artists to draw. Not only is the dialogue telling the story, but the illustrations are leaving an impression on the reader as well.
