The background figure looks very Gene Colan-ish to me, but Subby and Attuma looks like Bill Everett drawings - wonder if they collaborated in it?Dave Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-40699194076855942442017-09-25T09:49:54.594+01:002017-09-25T09:49:54.594+01:00If I've always known the year, Baab, then I ne...If I've always known the year, Baab, then I never get it wrong. And, with British comics being dated, it's just about impossible to get the year wrong. With American comics though, unless I have some other means of corroborating the date, sometimes it's a 'guestimate' because a lot of them didn't always turn up on these shores until years after their release in the States. I doubt that I'm ever more than a year out though. For example, I holidayed in Blackpool in 1973 & '74, and both holidays have (to some degree) sort of merged into one in my memory. And the fact that US comics from the '60s were readily available on Blackpool spinner-racks, I'm occasionally not sure if I got some comic in '73 or '74. Other than that, I'd say I'm right with the dates most of the time.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-45177039647505140932017-09-25T01:38:50.111+01:002017-09-25T01:38:50.111+01:00I agree,why not base it on the original.

Number 87 was Everett's first ish as regular artist after inking a few issues by Gene Colan. He drew 8 issues in all over a 10 ish run (#96 was his last as regular artist), then inked a few more by another artist, if I recall correctly.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-30544132219736539832017-09-23T23:05:44.590+01:002017-09-23T23:05:44.590+01:00Did not have any issues when younger but have pick...Did not have any issues when younger but have picked a couple up over the years.
