The situation very much mirrors what evolved between Mirage and all of their artists.

Except, as it relates to Spider-Man, Kirby doesn't really deserve any credit. I think Lee and Kirby did a lot on guys like the FF and Kirby no doubt had a higher influence on the characters than some like to admit... But his work on Spider-Man is almost none. He designed a story, a costume and a few pages, none of which were ever used and completely revamped by Lee and Ditko. The only Spider-man work he ever did was a redrawing of Ditko's first cover.
