| Notes | Cataldo is recognised by his faces and most for the movement of figures, one arm lifted and standing like clumsy puppets. Also to notice is the trousers in front view, with belt high up, making the belly hanging low and legs too short. This is particularly evident in this story.
JVJ has Cataldo plus "??", and the only reason for that must be some rapid inking on page 3 and 4, but the figures and faces are the same, and many of the folds in shirts and trousers too. |
