The line weight seems heavy all around, almost like they used bleached pages or dropped the color out.Steven Browerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327250917468675593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-59079463094492281422012-09-23T14:10:44.537-07:002012-09-23T14:10:44.537-07:00Stven, I don't think I have that one.

Either he was asked to do "fixes" or the story was passed around. I don't recall who the main artist was.<br />Steven Browerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327250917468675593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-80058271845251322292012-09-22T00:16:25.037-07:002012-09-22T00:16:25.037-07:00Thanks, George.Thanks, George.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-6133284024549003332012-09-21T13:36:33.733-07:002012-09-21T13:36:33.733-07:00His stuff always looked like early kirby to me, wh...His stuff always looked like early kirby to me, which is great!Operation GutterBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284309280828076236noreply@blogger.com
