Today editors actually forbid writers from using captions. As a result there is no atmosphere in the stories, no background, and no introspection since thought balloons aren't used any more either. It's no wonder people feel like they're not getting their money's worth when they can read an entire comic book in 5 minutes.James Van Hisehttp://jimvanhise.ipower.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654726374561042800.post-38617248104354362292012-02-21T03:52:51.774-05:002012-02-21T03:52:51.774-05:00GREAT article, Blake!

Still, some historians gloss over it or forget it entirely, which is a shame. Thanks for bringing it back to its rightful prominence.<br /><br />BTW, I'm sure you know, but the original art for the story surfaced as well some years ago. I hope you had access to it for your wonderful book! Would love to see the raw pages and any margin notes.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mike PascaleMike Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266931967861188301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654726374561042800.post-67623350912562954462012-02-21T00:26:48.150-05:002012-02-21T00:26:48.150-05:00Strange in that the colouring process didn't w...Strange in that the colouring process didn't work. I liked the murkiness of the colouring, it felt more under water authentic then anything I've seen in comic since.Jamie Covillehttp://thecomicbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654726374561042800.post-12610481707999079742012-02-21T00:21:27.090-05:002012-02-21T00:21:27.090-05:00Thanks for the B & W Everett art link.
