The last panel of page 2 raises an interesting question on the art of vine swinging. The vine she is reaching for is already extended to a near-horizontal position. How? If she hasn't yet touched it, shouldn't it be vertical? Does Lorna mentally command the vine to swing itself in her direction? It's quite puzzling if you think about it.
ReplyDeleteA pre-women's lib comic featuring a strong woman and a hapless man, I wonder what the great satan, A.K.A Dr. Fredric Wertham would have said about that.
ReplyDeleteBoth great questions....that I have no answer for.
ReplyDeleteBut Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!
Had he stayed in the industry I bet Jay Scott Pike could have been an integral part of the Marvel Age of Comics. A terrific and versatile artist.
