I was about 10 or 11 years old when this came out and if it didn't look like Steranko, Adams or Smith, then it stunck, in my youthfully stupid opinion. Now I know better - actually I realized that guys like Heck, Tuska, Sekowsky, Cardy, etc...were great when I saw the awful art and lack of storytelling skills from the Image guys in the early to mid 90s. - Jeff ClemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-91068377746817122722013-03-04T14:26:04.529-05:002013-03-04T14:26:04.529-05:00You've done it again groove: another issue I h...You've done it again groove: another issue I had, and had forgotten.

As fine a pencil artist as he could be, I think Heck's admittedly rough inks were very nice, especially on titan Jack Kirby. <br /><br />This story art cleaves closer to Heck's original style, less based on Kirby and more on Caniff. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
