Andru’s depictions of Spider-Man synthesized the styles of Romita and Steve Ditko. He was still muscular like Romita’s Spidey, but also had a litheness to him reminiscent of Ditko’s skinnier version. He contorted into strange positions like Ditko’s Spider-Man, but Peter Parker remained Romita handsome. And perhaps beyond even what his predecessors pulled off, Andru conveyed movement and action. His Spider-Man bounced around the page. Andru also had a real eye for comedy. In case you were wondering, yes, he did design the Spider-Mobile, and while it’s considered one of the low points in Spidey history, it was more or less played for laughs from the get-go. The notion that Spider-Man had this goofy, toyetic car was supposed to be an on-its-face silly notion. That’s partially evident from Conway’s dialogue, but it’s confirmed again and again in Andru’s art. ~ The Artist’s Spider–Man: Ross Andru’s Kinetic Consistency – Comics Alliance
