When Mike Kelleher first began reconstructing artwork for the Masterworks books, he did all his work digitally. The results were amazing, but he felt that they were too "smooth" and "mechanical" looking when compared to the pages shot from original film. The simple remedy was to recreate the images in ink on paper, at twice the printed size, just as the original artists did almost 50 years ago. The result is a much truer representation of the original printings.
Its not really an amazing or ground breaking issue or anything, but I've always had a soft spot for the issue (I've forgotten which but I know it was during the Lee/Ditko days) where Spidey crashes the Human Torch's party and provokes a fight and ends up tangling with the entire Fantastic Four.
