How Stan Lee and John Romita Create Spider-Man

This is the first in my new series of essays looking at the first post-Ditko episodes of Amazing Spider-Man in Watsonian and Doylist detail.

How did Stan Lee's working relationship with John Romita differ from his relationship with Steve Ditko, and how does this manifest on the pages of the comic?

What was the precise date of Peter Parker's first meeting with Mary Jane, and why does this involve a continuity gaff?
