Was digging around and discovered my first comic page I ever bought. Got it from the late Don Newton himself at a small comic book show back in OKC in 1980. Learned a lot from this page on the inks and paste-up. He was very gracious and told me about Zip. Four year later he would be gone. I love his Phantom books, what a loss.
On some things you don't ask for more than good, clean reads and uncluttered straightforward layouts. I always associate the Phantom with non flashy storytelling.
ReplyDeleteNice piece of art!
ReplyDeleteYeah, looks really good. I love how trashy the girl looks in that panel where her eyes are glowing in the cast shadow.
