"I'd give Frank Miller three stars as a writer and five as an artist (when it was mostly him not mostly Janson). "
Agreed.

Just a note, Hammerhead is my fAVE spidey villain

My rating for Miller would be the opposite. I really do not like Janson at all. Miller did some GREAT layouts on DD. I think Miller did a great job on Spider-Man (as in the character himself) on the covers he did in the late 70's early 80's. I particularly like Amazing Annual #14 and MTU Annual #4 (I think- with the Purple Man?). Suprised to hear you say HH is your favorite Spidey villain. He was one of the first ones I was introduced to and i enjoyed the Doc Ock/ Hammerhead gang war stories (except for what has been talked about). I'd put him in the top 20 anyways- WAAAY too many great Spidey villains.

BTW- i'm not knocking your opinions at all- just comenting on them
