Dual artists? That's why Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson were often credited as Swanderson. In a few cases some inkers are only 'tracers', but that's usually because that's all the penciller wants them to be.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-88559167948808353762014-05-10T13:40:51.285+01:002014-05-10T13:40:51.285+01:00I didn't say I disliked Colletta just that his...I didn't say I disliked Colletta just that his inking was so different from Sinnott. I remember reading a Conan story drawn by John Buscema and inked by Pablo Marcos - Buscema's art was almost unrecognizable under the Marcos inking, again I didn't dislike it but the inker makes such a difference. I don't know if you've seen the film "Chasing Amy" but there's a scene where an inker is at a comics convention (I think) and he's accused of being " a tracer". It's a very funny scene but the inker is much more than a tracer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-24882343901055109892014-05-10T13:19:54.274+01:002014-05-10T13:19:54.274+01:00The Complete FF comic was one of my favourites (go...The Complete FF comic was one of my favourites (got every issue), but I wish they'd never added The Invaders to its line-up at some point. I have to say that I liked Colletta's inking on Thor; seek out my post called 'So, Vince the Prince - Or Forgetta-Colletta'. It features some great Thor pages from Fantastic.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-69685690281537431602014-05-10T13:07:18.159+01:002014-05-10T13:07:18.159+01:00Kid, when you mentioned the news about Dick Ayres ...Kid, when you mentioned the news about Dick Ayres I was trying to think where I'd seen his inking as the name was familiar. I see from the panels above that it would have been in Complete FF when they reprinted the original stories from the early '60s. When I was reading Marvel comics in the '70s/early '80s I didn't really understand or appreciate how important the inker was but now I can see what an amazing difference the inker makes - compare Kirby/Colletta with Kirby/Sinnott. I'd even say that "dual artists" is more appropriate than artist and inker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
