| Holy smoke! "Too Hot to Handle" was drawn by Gene Colan! I almost didn't recognize him. Boy, did he grow a lot over his career. |
|
| Thanks for pointing that one out. The quality of the art is pretty good, but he hasn't evolved his distinctive style yet. Gene's art is always fluid, he seems to have had an instinctive dislike of straight lines! |
