| Huh! It IS kind of weird that Alex Schomburg drew Terror and Tim without their masks, and nobody in the art dept at Pines made the relatively simple art correction of adding the masks on the original art. Schomburg also drew Tim without his mask on the cover of #3, but you can see where that was more a deliberate choice in order to highlight Tim's expression with his eyes bulging out as he stared at a buzzsaw about to eviscerate him. |
