They had to leave the A out. The title barely fit as it is. It was an executive-level decision, I'm sure!
Masterpiece
Yes, most of the artwork done by the Filipino contingent for DC in the late 70's and early 80's is just outstanding. These were people who were working for a tiny, tiny page rate -- and usually doing BOTH pencils and inks. There are a few of us who have been "caretakers" of these pieces on CAF: Heidjer Staecker and Steve Kriozere just to name a couple.
That is pretty amazing- I have a smal lcolelction of misspelled titles !
Yes... an "ERROR PAGE"... If these things were coins, they'd be worth ten times as much. Not to me, though. I just love the time, skill and attention to effort these men gave to their work. Wish it was published in Black and White sometimes since some colorists buried the detail.
I have a couple pages from this story. Who can argue that the coloring couldn't have been improved ?? Vic Catan and lots of other Filipinos carried a lot of the weight for DC's horror and war titles.
I don't know why I only bought one issue of Time Warp, because I liked it so much, and it was number one. It, too, had coloring that seemed 'funky' and killed the inking. I got the feeling they were trying something new with the color separation.
Either way, this is freakin' beautiful page.
Steven, You have excellent taste.... :-)
Wow super cool!
