On a few panels, Check did some nice Frazetta swipes. He is clearly attempting to ink like Frazetta, but most of it seems too crude to actually be inked by Frank.Keeferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07533282707929804871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733816411215425761.post-24388886359334250972009-07-06T13:23:10.099-04:002009-07-06T13:23:10.099-04:00Based on the page shown, I find it hard to believe...Based on the page shown, I find it hard to believe that Frazetta pencilled this. Even in the early days, Frazetta had a pretty highly developed sense of layout and composition. The layouts on this page are pretty bad.

There are surface details that are consistent with Frazetta, but the layouts are not.benton jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756521475101955881noreply@blogger.com
