| I think I'd go so far as to say I'm certain that last story wasn't drawn by either Cameron or McLaughlin. |
|
| I'm not sufficiently conversant with McLaughlin's work to offer an opinion about his involvement, but without question Cameron had nothing to do with the story. I'm not sure how anyone came up with that ID. |
|
| I agree that the last story in this issue, "The Menace...." is NOT by Lou Cameron. Nothing about looks like his work. I don't think it's McLaughlin either. |
|
| Certainly not Cameron.
McLaughlin is an artist that for me doesn't have a clearly identifiable style, but this artist does, so its not McLaughlin. |
