But man, Kirby didn't do the poor colorist any favors, did he? Manhunter's get-up design would settle down in a couple of issues (to that bizarre powder-blue facemask) but even here--I'm presuming the reprints were freshly colored--the colorist couldn't decide if Manny was wearing a cowl as per the cover or a full face-mask as the interior art frequently suggests and was ultimately the case.BillyWitchDoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311279565432013472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-4363552833287267662017-01-05T23:47:08.992-05:002017-01-05T23:47:08.992-05:00Seems to have been some realization after drawing ...Seems to have been some realization after drawing the comic that the red headpiece should cover the face, so they just slung red ink on him.

Characters seem more muscular, less skinny and less inking of muscles and such? I hope I am sounding cogent lol?Charlie Horse 47https://www.blogger.com/profile/00906538705798228800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-32034515520413003182017-01-05T04:32:34.156-05:002017-01-05T04:32:34.156-05:00this was great! but I think there were a couple of...this was great! but I think there were a couple of stories before this one of a non costumed manhunter in Adventure comics, this was the first of the costumed manhunter.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-58432708088276576522017-01-05T02:46:11.451-05:002017-01-05T02:46:11.451-05:00Beautiful comics.

I followed Kirby over and while I had dabbled in The Flash and JLA, I was a Marvel fan by and large. This era with the quarter comics and the reprints really made me appreciate DC and comics in general. Great values! Too bad it didn't work out. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
