Realtalk, though, I wonder if the art was re-inked for the collection. It's *really* good looking.

I think the difference is John "fuckin" Romita (or more likely someone ghosting him) and the fact that they couldn't rely on colour for lazy shortcuts

What's interesting is the New York Times profile of Joe Sinnott that ran a few years ago said Janice Chiang lettered the Sunday strips. Maybe they alternated?
