This is a masterclass on how to effectively draw a cityscape in a small panel. It gives the reader all they need, & we're off to the next panel. Beautiful, effective, & Romita didn't kill himself unnecessarily drawing every window. This is how to do it.
A lesson *I* have yet to learn btw. Errg.

Amazing Spider-Man #60, 1968. Art by John Romita, Don Heck, and Mike Esposito. I love the minimal drawing of the background buildings.
