And his 1960s work on Iron Man and the Avengers did a lot to help push Marvel into the limelight. <br /><br />Re X-Men #64: it's pretty apparent Heck provided only the roughest of layouts here and that Palmer did the finishes/inking. IMO Palmer smothered the pencils and the end result was -- strange and distorted. There's a reason why Palmer's earlier penciling jobs fell flat (and why Marvel quickly switched him to inking); he was a great inker but not much of an illustrator.Sharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557062426400835295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488751866222269657.post-17894428375003970892009-10-25T20:05:34.818-07:002009-10-25T20:05:34.818-07:00Heck got quite stiff and repetitive in his later y...Heck got quite stiff and repetitive in his later years. He did some killer SF stories pre-Marvel hero age. and his Iron Man run was fantastic. He chose different inking styles depending on the story (they're best read in the Essentials volumes where you can concentrate on the black & white ink work). This guy was an accomplished illustrator.<br /><br />I remember reading a Neal Adams interview in The Comics Journal #72 where he told everyone to lay off Heck because he fell apart after the death of his wife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
