Reprints from the British series, drawn by Derek Eyles (he signed a couple of pages). Nice art. But the lettering--ugh!

I agree - dreadful - shows how important lettering (and colouring) can be in complementing the art.

Nate Piekos is about to launch his new manual on the topic:

If, like me, your art is poor and only good at a fan level, it's a helpful reminder that there are other ways to enter the industry besides writing and drawing.

You only have to look at most of Charlton's books to see that.
