I don't know what "Japanese-styled" means, but please ask a Japanese person if they think the latest Spiderman looks like it is from Japan.

I don't really remember that for sure. But I remember reading something one time about Americans who became Japanese mangaka. And I thought it was Cutie Honey. Though maybe it was Dirty Pair.
The Dirty Pair authors don't live in Japan. Maybe you were thinking of "MegaTokyo" which is an OEL manga that will (or is) being released in Japanese.

Ummmm...what? I guess I'm not good at wording things well.

As in...an American would have an easier time getting in Marvel than they would getting into Kodansha.

I see know...and I think you are correct in this assumption.
