    Terry Austin in those days reminded me of my drafting class in high school. Everything was crisp, fine lines, all angular. He had to have the smallest pen points around (along with P. Craig Russell when he inked himself). He was another creator I had good encounters with since I never failed to tell him how wonderful he was.

    I am of course a Grell fan, but I was slow to that. When his work first began I found his finishes as lush as the beloved Dave Cockrum, but his figures always seemed a bit stiff to me. As the years rolled by, I got over that prejudice and came to like his work on its own merits.
