Now it seems I am highjacking my own blog to reiterate my own points. While in fact I am grateful for every response. But here goes anyway... I agree with the orevious poster that the inking work of George Roussos is recognizable by the thick lines and boxier figures. I would add to that the black out faces in the three quarters behind view. And the fact that that makes his stories in the later DC fantasy books the least inspired. But that still leaves a load of unsigned Mort Meskin stories that don't look as good as Meskin's best but not as bad as Roussos'. Like the first one here. Was Meskin slipping or putting less effort into these? Or could it be that Roussos worse traits only came out when he was pencilling himself, because as a penciller he just couldn't put in the details that Meskin did. And when we see him doing some bad stuff over the stories they co-signed, he was working from Mort's lay-outs rather than pencils? So what I am asking is, could the first story have been inked by a very faithful Roussos over Mort's very well done pencils?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-11536926256717242212013-10-12T07:07:15.669-07:002013-10-12T07:07:15.669-07:00Inky lines are generally thicker and his figures s...Inky lines are generally thicker and his figures stiffer and "boxyer". The expressions are cruder. There are lots of Roussos examples in the the DC Mystery books in about a year of George's work. It's usually the least inspired story of the three in most issues. jhegenbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082204163626888629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-79219198553181179712013-10-07T23:10:19.997-07:002013-10-07T23:10:19.997-07:00I mean, what is the difference between Meskin inki...I mean, what is the difference between Meskin inking and Roussos inking and can we see it? Or are the differences we see just a result of Roussos inking his own pencils rather than Meskin's?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-72032621152080422312013-10-07T23:08:53.614-07:002013-10-07T23:08:53.614-07:00Yeah, but how to determine if it is more than (pos...Yeah, but how to determine if it is more than (possibly) Inky if even the comparison between these two gives us no certainty?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-58543478022755913752013-10-07T17:52:19.119-07:002013-10-07T17:52:19.119-07:00I've always thought that the first story was M...I've always thought that the first story was Mort and (possibly) Inky; and the second is just plain old Russoes.<br />jhegenbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082204163626888629noreply@blogger.com
