| The coloring in the last story is outstanding! Very vibrant and intense, it brings out the best qualities of the inking. Sometimes it is saddening to see good art made an incoherent muddle by mediocre or negligent coloring. This is how it ought to be done. |
|
| Thanks for highlighting this one, nenslo. Terrific opening panel in Heartbeat House – nice Poe-like story too. As you say, first-class use of a filtered colour effect in Conqueror Worm. |
|
| My Favorite here is Bob Powell's splash (page 3) for the first story. |
