    No. We had agreed to a general layout which I posted earlier. He actually deviated a bit from it if you look at the layout and compare it closely to the final. The head is tilted slightly differently, and the hat has marks indicating ridges which would reflect light (and which should be there).

    What I did want, stylistically, is for the face of PS to show anguish. He told me he didn't think he could. I said do your best. He did, and design-wise, I'm okay with it. It was not an easy request. Furthermore, on the paste-up for the face, he got the eyes slits nicely done, along with the mouth and nose. It's the jawline, the weird razor stubble, and the impact of the past-up which makes the face look weird. That's not design. That's faulty execution. Same with the barrel of the hat. It's just a black thing with no highlights. But that one, he didn't fix.

    You're right about the computer usage (He Photoshops the panels to merge them). I bought a few from his current run. 

    Howard was going out of the country on the day he mailed it to me. I think he got jammed and rushed it through. If you look carefully, you will also notice whiteout on this piece, too.

    Furthermore, I don't want him to redraw it. I just want the head fixed. It would also be nice if he could better trim the shoe, but I can live with that. 

    Now you're being too picky.

    Put the piece away in your portfolio and do not look at it again in a few month from now.  See how you feel about it then.

    Don't even think about it for a couple of weeks and then look at it again.

    Also available, is a great montage splash page of Green Arrow by the highly underrated Trevor Von Eeden, co-creator of Black Lightning,  this splash features to large images of Oliver Queen in full classic Green Arrow costume.  I've only ever seen two other Von Eeden Green Arrow splashes, and one is in my collection and the other Romitaman sold for around $2500.  Don't know why DC hasn't put out a trade of all these great 80's Arrow stories from Detective, Wolrd's Finest and the Green Arrow mini-series but they should:  http://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fauctions_first.asp&id=1213837

     

    I have three Von Eeden Green Arrow splashes in my gallery!

    One fine day I'll get a scanner and show off my collection. As you can see from the pic below, I'm lousy with a camera.

    There are maybe seventeen fans of Keith Giffen's Trencher, but I'm one of them. The series died before a half-dozen issues were published but I miss it. As far as I'm concerned, it's underappreciated art.

    I can appreciate that! Love Giffen's work!
