Sinnott, as great an inker (and artist) as he is, still left too many of JK's squiggly lines supposedly denoting musculature, whereas Wood usually inked them in such a way as to render them more realistic-looking.

However, I'm sure you knew that and just got them mixed together at the typing stage - done it myself many a time. Great as Joe Sinnott was (and is), I'd have loved to see Wally Wood ink Kirby's FF.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-32911841647683375382015-10-30T23:46:33.863+00:002015-10-30T23:46:33.863+00:00I am working my way through the Fantastic Four Ess...I am working my way through the Fantastic Four Essentials collections.<br />I am more familiar with black and white and prefer it sometimes.<br />There are a couple of points where Jack Kirby just evolves and the leap is obvious.<br />I would suggest that he was aided in this by the choice of inkers.<br />Issue 28 when Chic Rosen becomes the inker.<br />Joe Sinnot takes over from Vince Colletta who is a bit thin on the ff from issue 44 and the <br />characters take on a more realistic look after about three issues.<br />And of course it only gets better from there.<br />baabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388667792167744260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-33544292073599010712015-10-30T23:36:55.860+00:002015-10-30T23:36:55.860+00:00I don't know about a homage, CJ, but the cover...I don't know about a homage, CJ, but the cover was reprinted on FF Pocket Book #7.
