While the concept behind Marvel’s June-shipping Spider-Men remains a mystery, one of the two silhouetted figures from the pre-release art has been revealed, and he’s… Spider-Man! Yeah, okay, no surprise there, I guess, but just look at this lovely, lovely Spider-Man and really… Who cares about the plot? That’s just loveliness right there.
The rumor mill really does seem to be gearing us up for a Marvel Universe/Ultimate Universe crossover of some sort with this series, which I’m a little ambivalent about for some reason, but there’s something so wonderful about the art on that Peter Parker figure that I’m almost willing to buy it for the art alone.
Now I’m curious: Who draws your favorite Spider-Man? And link to examples, so I can agree/think you’re crazy, please.

Looks like Marcos Martin on the ad.
I’d have to say my favorite right now is Stegman’s Scarlet Spider. That dude can draw a spider-dude.

Matin does a good spidey, but behind Stegman I gotta go with Bagley.

I love what Joe Quinones does with spidey:

maybe I’m not noticing it, but how can you tell if that is the regular Marvel Universe Spider-man, as opposed to the Ultimate Universe Peter Parker?

I always loved Mike Wieringo’s Spidey (R.I.P.)

Also, though he hasn’t ever done Spider-Man interiors (though he was supposed to and Marvel still won’t admit that it will never happen), J. Scott Campbell has done some sick covers

@ saggytwat (what an appropriate name for you) – Graeme never says that it is 616/Marvel U Spidey, he just says its Peter Parker. But, hey, way to be a troll.

I definitely loved Ringo’s Spider-Man. That issue with young Pete and Uncle Ben at the ball park is one of my all time faves. My guilty pleasure is Erik Larsen’s version.
