I'm guessing it's a canister he's stealing, though with that text box maybe it's a fleshlight.

Yeah Logan would need flashlights in situations. He has good senses, but not like Daredevil to where he could operate in total darkness.

The panel that started this discussion is from a comic book (Marvel Knights Spider-Man/Wolverine #2) where he breaks into a place under cover of complete darkness to steal incriminating documents that he places into a cylindrical cannister.

I don't know if we are supposed to post webcomics here, but I adore this page from Dicebox:



Anyway, the first half of the comic has been published as a print book, so it counts as a comic book, even if the panel above is from the second, online-only, book.

The very first comics I ever got into as a wee lad were Gold Key's Magnus Robot Fighter, and I still love the old school pulp-novel look of their painted covers. Not sure who the uncredited artists were; the inside work was all done by Russ Manning, but these aren't his style. Anyway, it was the cover art that really drew me in.








Awesome! Thanks for the info!

That's George Wilson, a regular cover artist for Gold Key. Funny coincidence - the first comic I ever bought for myself was an issue of Doctor Solar: Man of the Atom, also with a cover by Wilson.

I had that last issue of Magnus ("Fear Unlimited!") as a little fellow, along with various other Gold Key offerings my dad had picked up. Gold Key had such an interesting design/branding that made it stand out- this Solar cover and logo are both top tier poo poo.

Boris Karloff's Tales of Mystery scared the pants off of me as a kid, despite how simple they are looking back at them now.

Doctor Solar was just an incredibly good book for its time. It debuted a few months after the Hulk and took his origin - brilliant physicist gains superpowers that turn him green through atomic accident - but took the opposite direction that Solar uses his knowledge to get the most out of his energy manipulation powers and also to protect people from the inherent danger of his radioactive body. It was thus a somewhat educational book as well as an action story. Solar also originally didn't wear a costume.

Yeah, at first glance they look like a pulp magazine or paperback. It's a style I really like and you don't see too often, so it's neat that they did it for almost their entire line.

its a side-profile shot of the old man and then a 3/4 profile shot of the young guy with the black and green eyes standing right behind/to the side of him but i feel like he started drawing it with the old man and then realized he had less panel space than he thought when drawing the young guy

Then you slip sheet it and recompose the panel. I know they're supposed to be whispering up close but there's still a hundred rather easy ways to fix this. Even some color variation would help.

PLus, there's no reason for the huge eyeball. Christ, I thought it was a Liefeld laser eye guy or something.

This looks like Two Face. Plus I agree that it looks like Gleason drew himself into a corner but that should be solved at the thumbnail stage. I smell a deadline at work here.

Also, speaking of coloring, this is an example of what I hate about modern digital airbrushing: everything looks like an inflated balloon. I've always thought that the pencils and inks should do the heavy lifting and that the color should be used more to invoke mood, setting and lighting, which I guess they tried here since it's, what? A cave? The palette is OK but the application sucks.

Esplanade
Jan 6, 2005

Yeah, I get that it's a stylistic choice and all, but I found the heavy inks and colors in that series really offputting. Everyone seemed to have this unpleasant greasy sheen to them.

Not my cup of tea.

E: I remember an interview with John Byrne back in the 80s where he made the same complaint about Bob Layton's inks.

He then went on to complain that Layton made everyone look gay. Because, well, he's John Byrne.

The line weight being the same makes it look like they're at the same depth. I thought that was some weird face too for a moment. Could have been salvaged by making the guy in the background blurry.
