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
Nice!
