    Default Top 3 writers you think of when someone says Spider-Man?

    Brought this to the Spider-Man section having read the one in Batman by LastSonOfShaolin.

    Mine:

    1. Stan Lee. Only choice for my #1. Classic Spider-Man, nothing better.

    2. Brian Michael Bendis solely for Ultimate Spider-Man. Couldn't warm to his 616 Spidey.

    3. Joseph Michael Straczynski. Surprised I've included him as he wrote the two worst Spider-Man stories ever in One More Days and Sins Past but I can't look past Coming Home, The Conversation and Doomed Affairs.

    You?

    Stan Lee, Gerry Conway, JMS

    Not that this is equal to top 3 writers of Spider-Man certainly.

    Conway narrowly missed my OP.

    Lee, Ditko and Romita - if you consider an artist a writing contributor, which I do.
    Every day is a gift, not a given right.

    For me the question depends on the context: If I am thinking positive writers:,I am going: 1: Ditko. 2: Stern: 3: Conway. Negative writers : 1: Slott. 2: Wolfman. 3: JMS.

    Even though I’ve never read anything Spider-Man related by him, except a few strips in the Sunday Comics, Stan Lee.

    I liked PAD but people either don't think of him or think his SM is terrible? Granted he isn't of the first writers that come to mind.

    I would go with these three, Lee, Stern and Michelinie. When I finally got my hands on the full run of ASM, those writers made me realize how much I enjoy Peter Parker’s adventures. By the by, this is the first time in half a decade that I wrote a response to a post. Cheers, I suppose!
    I remember the Pre-Crisis days of CBR.
