DescriptionEven though it doesn’t really get me closer to my goal of owning a Hazard strip from every decade of it’s run sometimes the later strips are just too cheap to pass up. I absolutely love the establishing shot in the first panel, it feels cinematic in a way that’s unusual for the visual language of most newspaper cartoonists. While there are a few connoisseurs out there that appreciate every period of Robbins’ development as an artist I still frequently hear people speak derisively about his 70’s work. If you check out the close ups I think what you’ll see is a cartoonist fearlessly wielding his tools with the confidence of more than 30 years of experience working on this strip and I bet he could’ve gone another decade without a drop in quality if he wanted.Social/Sharing |

Animators love this era of Robbins work. The lines are confident, simplified, and often can change the mood of a piece by how it's used. Look at the hair. It reminds us of the Timm headshots for dark haired characters with the shine. This guy knew how to ink even if he wasn't trying to be pretty.

Yeah I particularly like those early BTAS concept drawings BT did that are really Caniff/Robbins-y. The 70's era of Hazard is when Robbins shrunk the size of board he was working on as well so I feel like his work actually tightens up a bit in a really interesting way from the peak brushy-ness of the late 60's. I also think this goes against the prevailing criticism of his later work that he got too sloppy and loose for the fans.

So much great detail and yet it's so easy to read. Fantastic design, inking, faces, staging, and storytelling
