Colan, being a master of light and shade, was great at illustrating the 'murky depths' I thought, but Everett's '50s Subby tales have an undeniable charm.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-74634140230650391842016-08-03T02:03:20.903+01:002016-08-03T02:03:20.903+01:00One my comic con friends showed me a 60s Everett o...One my comic con friends showed me a 60s Everett original Subby piece he got. Everett got better as he got older and I think he really suited Subby. Colan could do anything but his work was so cinematic and realistic I don't think he was best was an underwater hero. You needed someone who could do stylized water, and that was Ramona Fradon or Everett. On the other hand I never liked Everett's Hulk....Phil Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-32923308101134673692016-08-03T00:00:27.785+01:002016-08-03T00:00:27.785+01:00That would certainly have been interesting to see,...That would certainly have been interesting to see, G, but I'm not sure if he'd have been able to match Colan in the mood and atmosphere department.

I read where Gene Colan (spelled correctly, thank you very much :)) once said that he was first choice as artist for Tomb of Dracula. I would have loved to have seen his version.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547751537787941998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-79382933100357287502016-08-02T23:07:50.469+01:002016-08-02T23:07:50.469+01:00I see what you mean, PC, but it was a short quest ...I see what you mean, PC, but it was a short quest as I only learned for sure of the mag's existence the other day, which is when I made up my mind to get one. And I already have the stories in Terrific and the first volume of the Sub-Mariner Masterworks edition. However, it IS good to have the two mags which have the complete story between them.

Ah, eBay; where would we be without it?, a little bit richer in pocket but not in spirit I suspect, uniting collectors around the world as it does.Philip Crawleynoreply@blogger.com
