| Bill Woggon a rip-off artist? Check out the Splash page for the Katy Keene story on page 43. Sure does look like Bambi, Flower and a recolored Thumper to me. Looks like Woggon saved himself some labor by "borrowing" some Disney imagery. |

| A commenter on DCM seems to think that Dick Briefer did the Ginger story (p24) in this book. any of you comic art experts have an opinion? |
|
| The most Briefer like, to me, is panel 2 on page 28. I have compared some Briefer on Frankenstein and I do not think the story is his. I would like to see some of his Archie and Jughead to compare. The lifeguard has more definition in his arms and legs than what Briefer gave to humans in Frankenstein. Not sure if that matters but I noticed it. |
