    Man, I had pretty much all of these; I didn't even realize that Sienkiewicz did those Spiderwoman covers. As for those two issues of FF, I recall that the covers were about the best part - those stories by Moench were ... different.

    I love his later work, but it's interesting to see how a great artist takes time to mature. Notice how he struggles to draw hands in Moon Knight 1-2, the poor composition in FF 219 and the generally difficult body proportions and forms throughout his early work. He was much better and more interesting when he adopted his own scratchy photo realistic styles as opposed to trying to ape Buscema and other Marvel mainstays.
