| Notes | next appearance in Man of War Comics (Centaur, 1941 series) #1 Henry Andrews disputes the previous Paul Gustavson pencils/inks credit here. While a number of Man of War's poses are similar, compared to the previous story the faces are different, the figures are less detailed and fluid, and the action is less dynamic. The flaming sword is rendered with a different effect, the explosion marking Man of War's appearance is less detailed, and the ink line is much heavier throughout the story. Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. confirms via email that this is definitely not Paul Gustavson, nor any Gustavson that he knows. |
