The effect on the big bug eyes look great! Arcades and places with pinball machines were mysterious and forbidden for a wee lad like myself, so I missed out and always had a fascination with them. To an impressionable kid, pinball machines to me were definitely artwork as cool as a car or a plane. Seeing them depicted in comics is always a treat especially in X-Men and Micronauts where they were bigger than life. This page has that same sense of adventure and danger with patterns and mechanical designs like a race inside a maze.

Dear Marcus, Thank you for your comment. Not sure whether you are familiar with this artist/ series, but it’s a real curio. In 1979, Lug, the publisher of Marvel comics in France, received the permission to continue their rerun of the Silver Surfer, which had become their number 1 series. They commissioned a French artist, Jean Yves Mitton, to pick up the threads after John Buscema’s run. The whole story is described in details here:

While only two episodes were produced, the publisher then decided that they too could create in-house American-style super-hero series for their anthology publications, alongside their Marvel reprints, so as to save money. In a way, these are not unlike the Manga-inspired, American.penned Comico books, such as Robotech/ Macross. This page is from their longest lasting series, Mikros. Not a very good book by any standards, but, beyond its nostalgic factor, a truly quirky corner of early '80s super-hero comics history. Best, Fabrice
