| The art on Senorita Rio on #65 and #66 is, to my knowledge, nothing like Jerry Grandenetti.
If it's not Eisner, it's a genius note for note copy.
If it's Eisner, somebody else was inking. But the layouts and the balloon placement and design and the lettering are the best Eisner copy I have ever seen.
I know that Eisner is revered in Brazil but I am not aware of any artist who copies his style so slavishly.
In any case, if you have an artist who was that good, why would you only use him or her for two issues?
Great stuff! |

| I'm convinced it's not Grandenetti, it doesn't resemble the style of the Dr Drew stories which were almost certainly inked over Eisner layouts. The similarity in lettering still suggests Abe Kanegson, but if the layouts here are Eisner's, I can't name the inker. The overall effect isn't that flattering, but words in the script like "gorl" and "feeneesh" are very Eisner. |

| Notes | Drawn in a quasi-Eisner-SPIRIT style. This has traditionally been attributed to Jerry Grandenetti, but it simply doesn't conform to what we know of his style - either pencils or inks. Possibly another foreign artist? |
