Seemed like there were more smaller panels as they tried to move the story along faster. <br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-1802793235257864592011-01-05T14:26:36.502-06:002011-01-05T14:26:36.502-06:00If I recall (I don't have the book here at sch...If I recall (I don't have the book here at school with me - wish I did!), Palmer makes a comment that he had quite a bit of freedom on that second run of Avengers, but only from the standpoint of said finished product. Buscema's figures and lay-out of the panels/page were faithfully adhered to.<br /><br />Years ago, not so much anymore, there were tons of Buscema's rough pencils for sale on eBay. I have a page from the period when Namor was on the Avengers -- there's no doubt what the intent is, and when comparing it to what was published, Palmer was quite faithful.<br /><br />You know, there was a period of time when Tom Palmer was working his magic over several different artists on that book in much the same manner as Joe Sinnott was tying together the different creators on the FF.<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-12406893280860194942011-01-05T13:35:41.477-06:002011-01-05T13:35:41.477-06:00"[I]n the 1980's when they got back toget..."[I]n the 1980's when they got back together on that title (The Avengers), Palmer was largely responsible for the finished product as Buscema did no blacks or backgrounds."<br /><br />Well, that's news to me. I have many of those issues and I think the art in them is nothing short of fantastic. I had always assumed that Buscema's style had evolved because it looked different from his earlier work. It's a little disappointing to know the truth.Inkstained Wretchnoreply@blogger.com
