His expressions are pitch perfect and he spends a lot of time in close-up, or in profile close-ups, and from sneers to fears there isn't a single panel in this that just isn't gorgeous.<br /><br />His fine shading work is also something to behold. Here's my suggestion, go through his attributed list in GCD and see if you have anymore from him, this is certainly a lost gem of an artist!<br /><br />The story. Eh. It works. It's really predictable and spends way to much time on a red herring, but it serves it's purpose as a quick little tale.<br /><br />As Mr. Cavin said, that's some fine coloring, too. Page 1, Panel 2 isn't the most complex coloring job, but usually way more than you could expect from four-color comics.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-36650072804841011812014-08-08T20:51:40.439-05:002014-08-08T20:51:40.439-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-66603651660725704202014-08-08T19:56:39.359-05:002014-08-08T19:56:39.359-05:00"I accuse Professor Zmuda of intellectual her..."I accuse Professor Zmuda of intellectual heresy!"<br /><br />He makes that sound like an actual charge in a rule book. Charles Fort would have really enjoyed that! (He liked comparing a lot of scientific groups to religious tribunals.)<br /><br />I agree about this story being a very good one.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-17959589210496098562014-08-08T19:14:35.246-05:002014-08-08T19:14:35.246-05:00That was fantastic and the art was spectacular. Ev...That was fantastic and the art was spectacular. Every panel of page one was top-notch, as were all the city backgrounds (though the city was not, perhaps, all that Romanian looking). I really thought the color job here was exceptional, too (it usually was at Atlas), with a lot of care in leaving highlights effectively uncolored.<br /><br />Thanks for helping to keep the home fires burning, Rachel (as well as for the excellent request)! And as always, thanks for doing all the actual work, Karswell.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.com
