The stark introduction of the witch being chased on page 2, panel 3 has a simple lyricism animated with just the right tension in the pose. The layout of the leaves chasing the tramp on page four panel two recalls the mechanical arms of Dr. Octopus undulating throughout a panel five years later. Not too sure any other artist would have contemplated an actual panoramic of a storm and forest on page 6 panel 3. Love the fifties stuff you've graced us with.waynekappler@bellsouth netnoreply@blogger.com
