When all of a sudden Abel took over the inking chores (Swan was still the penciler), I really thought it was a totally different artist--I did not recognize Swan's work at all! IMO Abel flattened Swan too much. I did like Abel on Win Mortimer, though (on the Legion a bit later on).Sharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557062426400835295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488751866222269657.post-1105801419551759062008-07-26T12:57:00.000-07:002008-07-26T12:57:00.000-07:00Even though I didn't know the names of the artists...Even though I didn't know the names of the artists at the time, I remember a distinct shift in the Superman art starting around mid-1968, which I suspect was due to different inkers doing Swan. George Klein definitely contributed to a "classic" look circa mid-60's, but I liked Abel's inks, too. He tended to use a lot more shading which created a more "realistic" look. For example, look at Superman's abs on this cover; there's somewhat of a 3-D effect, perhaps with a bit of cross-hatching, whereas Klein's technique would've been more "cartoony."vinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465498501065669782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488751866222269657.post-85510381086493282152008-07-12T09:42:00.000-07:002008-07-12T09:42:00.000-07:00Blame Mikes Amazing World of DC Comics for the err...Blame <I>Mikes Amazing World of DC Comics</I> for the error.
