If I have to believe Harry Mendrick (who runs the Simon and Kirby blog and is a great art spotter) this story probably isn't inked by Roussos. Meskin and Roussos worked together a lot and learned each other's tricks, so it can be hard to spot who did what. But if I take som eof Roussos' solo work a a measuring stick I'd say he was not involved here.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573514568417810856.post-36743282458274262742009-02-12T23:37:00.000-08:002009-02-12T23:37:00.000-08:00Sherm,This one probably is pure Meskin.

I don't know if Simon and Kirby sat in on the story conferences, which they did on some of thei other titles.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573514568417810856.post-91493892983818461522009-02-09T18:56:00.000-08:002009-02-09T18:56:00.000-08:00Hi Chuck -- the thing I like most about Mort Meski...Hi Chuck -- the thing I like most about Mort Meskin is the fast and loose dynamic inking over solidly constructed drawings.<BR/><BR/>There's an unbelievable splash page by Meskin coming up in a story from issue #3 of the Strange World of Your Dreams called the Edge of Madness. It's about three Kirby posts away, but it'll be worth the wait!Shermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234494715024292722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573514568417810856.post-1627330059313195982009-02-09T18:26:00.000-08:002009-02-09T18:26:00.000-08:00Eerie!I agree with you that Meskin had a hand in t...Eerie!<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that Meskin had a hand in this one.<BR/><BR/>Good stuff here.Chuck Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529750105224374839noreply@blogger.com
