Fraga's masterful drafting, claustrophobic blacks, and relatively light touch with the halftones make for really lovely work. I too am a little surprised the Pubs version wasn't more tarted up, but what can you do? Ultimately, I think her burnt feet is the more horrifying conclusion, but the rest is really tight.<br /><br />I'm loving this comparison series.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-52249749462127449772013-06-11T14:57:00.670-05:002013-06-11T14:57:00.670-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-8012116695853543492013-06-11T12:11:38.683-05:002013-06-11T12:11:38.683-05:00This one is a much closer lift.

Again, not the best pick for an Eerie redo -- there's not a lot of places to add skulls or big inkly blots of blood.<br /><br />I have to queue up my broken record again on coloring. While the opinion on the washed look at Eerie can be all over the map, it's hard to believe the pre-code coloring is doing that story any good.<br /><br />Two interesting changes: the wording of the last caption (emphasizing "dead") and the odd choice of making the mother less witch like. You'd think they'd instead make one of her eyes hanging out!<br /><br />I like this "series" Kars, it's pretty fascinating to see what they changed and how each artist re-interprets.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-44251910956888417242013-06-11T09:09:40.683-05:002013-06-11T09:09:40.683-05:00Fraga did the Pubs one.
