(2) It was lettered professionally, as near as I can tell by the same person who lettered the printed version. Frazetta might have paid a letterer to letter a sample page, but more likely he'd leave the lettering out or do it himself. (3)In the splash panel Looie, the hero of the strip, is drawn from behind so you can't see his face. I can see an editor asking for a re-draw on these grounds.(4) The realistic style Frazetta used on the original isn't that far removed from that of the printed comic.<br /><br />Of course I could be wrong. If the first panel were the problem, why wouldn't Frazetta simply have redrawn that one panel? Why did he change the staging of the other two panels as well? Interesting questions.Smurfswackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807173070389349098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-77076842993417140182012-02-10T10:48:57.734-08:002012-02-10T10:48:57.734-08:00You might be interested in my posts, at Tenth Lett...You might be interested in my posts, at Tenth Letter of the Alphabet, about Frazetta, his art teachers and the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts.<br /><br />Michele Falanga, Frank Frazetta's childhood art teacher<br />alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/02/creator-michele-falanga.html<br /><br />The Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts<br />alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/02/school-days-brooklyn-academy-of-fine.html<br /><br />Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts Students<br />alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/02/creator-brooklyn-academy-of-fine-arts.html<br /><br />85 Court Street<br />alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/02/street-scene-85-court-street.html<br /><br />Hal Foster's influence on Frank Frazetta<br />alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/02/creator-hal-foster.html<br /><br />Paul Grubman, Frank Frazetta's high school art teacher<br />alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2012/02/street-scene-frank-frazettas-high.htmlAlex Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961079895014060773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-71961972290185072302012-02-10T06:29:54.111-08:002012-02-10T06:29:54.111-08:00Strange amalgam of Al Capp and comic hack!
