This level of work, his influence, and guidance of younger artists, and the large body of work to his credit is why I rank him alongside Kirby, and Buscema as three of my top five favorite artists.Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908194845281410895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-19234919643204176472009-05-08T15:10:00.000-04:002009-05-08T15:10:00.000-04:00The last of the great DC war characters, and proba...The last of the great DC war characters, and probably my favorite (although Enemy Ace is right up there, too.
