Maybe that'll be a good theme to devote some time to in 2016, if you guys are interested?<br /><br />Thanks for the comments-- Rudy Palais up nextMr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-85189288148211865852016-01-26T23:04:30.894-06:002016-01-26T23:04:30.894-06:00Excellent! Another story with a number of interest...Excellent! Another story with a number of interesting process tint screens. Not so many Ben Day dots on this one--maybe I'm seeing some on the faces, but it's hard to tell--but plenty of lines. Like I said before, probably on another recent story from the same title, lines were pretty old-fashioned by the fifties. Whoever was doing the process separations for <i>Horrific</i> had a huge bag of tricks. And a work ethic. Far as I can tell, they did two brown passes alone to get that cross-hatched color for Ivan's suit on page two. What a strange little detail to obsess over. And, sure, I'm talking about myself, too.<br /><br />Love that maniac panel at the bottom of three.

And this is a good one! Spins behind our poor murdering wrestler, choke holds him, and snaps his neck. The devil WRESTLED HIM! Awesome!<br /><br />Art is a little wonky in places, but I love the open mouth devil and wrestler on page 3.<br /><br />Freddy Demon??? Really? And I'm guessing that Freddy is the same character in panel 2. That's a weird one.<br /><br />The Devil is probably kicking himself for that Devil's Chamber mishap. I don't think he's getting his souls from that one!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-26883263417652413092016-01-26T13:01:45.451-06:002016-01-26T13:01:45.451-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.com
