Furys that Syd Shores inked the splash & possibly pages 2 or 3 as well (& if it wasn't him on 2 & 3, there's a decent chance it was someone besides Severin). After that, Severin's typically overpowering inks take over -- there's very little evidence of Heck's pencils to be found.Dan Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-71546031162104426362009-07-07T13:30:42.958-04:002009-07-07T13:30:42.958-04:00Well, duh.

(The only excuse I can come up with is that it's in the far corner of a shelf in one of my bedroom closets [both contain far more comics than clothes ... it's pretty obvious where my priorities lie, I suppose], rather than as the centerpiece of the shrine it ought to occupy, especially since it's the only box containing series that are *not* in chronological order -- that is, normally I'd follow Fury with whatever series Marvel came out with immediately after it.)<br /><br />To answer your other question, though -- if Severin ever inked Heck anywhere else, I'm not aware of it.Dan Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-57120948663771578932009-06-21T17:32:06.476-04:002009-06-21T17:32:06.476-04:00The earliy issues with the creation of Hydra were ...The earliy issues with the creation of Hydra were quite good, actually!Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-49296553883707843442009-06-11T11:01:18.065-04:002009-06-11T11:01:18.065-04:00Dan - how is the Heck/Severin team?

I guess, though, that merely reflects my deep esteem for #10, which he <i>did</i> ink, & which I remember listing as something like my 6th favorite comic in the inaugural 12 Days of Christmas (though we had only 10 that first time around ...) thread on the Classics Forum.<br /><br />Makes me wonder why he handled that one, rather than Shores. (I agree that the Ayers/Shores team was, umm, sort of utilitarian, though not enough so to keep me from buying all the ishes as they came out, starting with #2.)Dan Baileynoreply@blogger.com
