Every time I see anything by Ken Reid I remember the story of his spending hours every week painstakingly copying naval vessels in minute detail for Jonah. Has there ever been a more dedicated artist?
ReplyDeleteThere were probably some who were just as dedicated perhaps, JP, but I doubt that any were more so.
ReplyDeleteI read in a fanzine (I think it was "Escape") that some editors used to spend hours checking Ken Reids artwork and would "white out" what the considered any overly gross scenes (ie dog poo etc) or overly "violent" scenes - so detailed was his work it seemingly took them ages to do it - not sure how true that was but I can imagine that to an extent it was done by some.
ReplyDeleteI've read that myself, McScotty, so there's probably a fair bit of truth about it. I think it's likely that there was more 'checking' than 'changing' 'though, once he'd been asked to tone things down.
