A black-and-white comic panel in a traditional superhero-comic art style. A woman in a leotard lies on stony prehistoric ground, a massive snake coiled around her. The woman struggles to reach toward a sword lying on the ground before her.

It’s a shame we don’t have some kind of device in our pockets to check quotes before they leave our lips:)

Maybe to keep it out of direct sunlight when not being used for a photo op?

So they won’t need to shoot anyone in a car anymore out of fear of being run over. Cool

Did not know Bowie had a two headed dog! He’s even cooler now, in my eyes for that:)

Steve, I only responded to your post to correct it because no penciller ever cut zipatone shading film ever:) That has always been a value added thing from an inker!

One other thing is, sometimes credits are lettered in and can be wrong, but those art files get reprinted without correction. I’ve had my name misspelled, and credited as an β€œinker/ embellished” when being paid for finishes. Those mistakes can screw you out of royalty percentages forever:)

Carlin valued the contributions of everyone on his books. Brett came on the books with Perez, and was always a finisher. I can’t remember if Dan was doing layouts when inked by Thibert, but I think so. Paying for β€œfinishes” is a way to reward good inkers with a small pay raise, and is earned.

It doesn’t not diminish what Dan was doing, as his pages are always vibrant and exciting, as are his scripts. But Brett is an inker/finisher like Tom Palmer, Klaus Janson who always interpreted pencil lines, not just followed them. Credits were often hazy about actual contributions.

Larry Hama, who made that into a franchise with his comic stories, should be given a chance to reboot this movie. As others have said, with so many good choices available, why embrace a problematic, troubled guy who also seems to hate the idea of fandom?

They feed on people with addictions, and serve no purpose. Except to make money for their investors. We used to at least pretend to be better than this.

You mean Brett Breeding? Brett always did great work over Dan’s layouts! Unsung hero on that stuff!

She was one of the best! Never recall meeting her, but her work, especially in the 1970s was an influence on me as a youngster.

Hand lettered, so it was planned out to be as centered as it is without running out of room on the right:)

I can’t say for sure as I don’t recall anymore, but it looks like him.

Here’s another piece from 1978, inspired by Wally Wood as well as the Frazetta Buck Rogers covers from the 50s
