Description
This cover has a plastic overlay with the lettering but I didn't remove it since it is stapled to the board.

It's nice but I don't see much of Mike in this piece. I would love to have seen the pencils.

You're right about not seeing much Netzer in this piece, and the other Comet covers I inked over him. Michael Golden was the editor of the Impact line at this time, and he loved Netzer's dynamics, but thot the amount of line work was way to over the top for the Impact books, which were aimed at a younger audience. I don't have a copy of the pencils, this was so long ago...but the dynamics and the energy still remains! Hope that helps out the "look" and good eye for seeing it! Art direction was a really "good" thing working with Michael Golden as an editor, he knew what he wanted and "asked" the people to produce work fitting to the audience. Something most editors today don't have the vision to do. My direction on this was to simplify and to give it a nice "Joe Sinnott" line. Hopefully I did well.

Hey John, thanks for the additional info. You definitely added to my appreciation of the piece and the struggles of great inkers.
