"seems that" ...and "Because you know I have won" is not by Rosen, so Stan probably revised the copy at the last minute, Its been reported that he was picky and made changes at the last moment, so the corrections could be by Sol Brodsky or Stan himself.Nick Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096100224095280865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-87888193027442743832020-01-05T17:37:03.824-05:002020-01-05T17:37:03.824-05:00Another great post Mr. C.

That ain't Rosen's lettering, and I bet you Dick and George didn't draw that panel either. Looks like a last-minute story change by Stan. What do you think?<br /><br />e.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821701661636861447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-45055945702830440692011-08-06T11:40:00.536-04:002011-08-06T11:40:00.536-04:00Nick wonderfully pointed out the differences in th...Nick wonderfully pointed out the differences in the creators, but the editoral poiclices of the companies were very different and that allowed the differeances too! In the 1960s, there were two ways to go for serious comics: DC, whose comics were geared towards young people, with simple stories, characters that didn’t develop, drawn by artists like Curt Swan whose characters and stories were simple, posed and static, showing no motion or emotion and he became the “house style” of the time. Joe Simon would write in his autobiography, "The editors at DC…wanted everything to look "their way." ... They had what we called very tight technique...You could have twenty artists do a character or a series, and it would all look as if it had been drawn by the same artist." <br />Then there was MARVEL, whose characters and stories were dynamic and complex, like nothing a young reader ever saw before, inspired, mostly, by the minds and artistry of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko.<br /> After reading Kirby and Ditko, I could no longer go down Swan’s way.<br />Kirby’s and Ditko’s impact on comics were so great that any essay on them must seem incomplete. They just outstanding, innovative, incredibly inventive and prolific and such an important foundation of not just the MARVEL UNIVERSE, but for all comics and their different genres.<br /><br />BarryLefischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675980883715246616noreply@blogger.com
