So we still don't know if that pencil was a recreation drawing by Barry or the original which Terry altered.
Terry is a great inker, but I think he makes Barry look a little stiff.

I don't know if Smith re-drew it or if it's Austin linking, but I prefer the published version. Her forearm up over her nose seems a more natural gesture and gets rid of tha bad tangent. Also, the differences in line weight better convey morning sunlight (if that's what the scene is supposed to show).

For the Don Heck detractors , this is from Nightglider #1 from the Tops line of comics released in 1993.   He was 64 years of age when this book came out. |

2) 64 doesn't seem nearly as old to me as it might've when this came out. In fact, it's not old at all.

I've never really thought of Don Heck as a bad artist (I guess some do!), but that page looks solid to me. "Normal" heroic art I'd gladly read anytime.

The long hair is interesting; BWS did that again for the aborted Lifedeath III, which he published as "Adastra in Africa."  Marco Rudy paid homage to the original Lifedeath splash page several years ago with an image in the space-spy series Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier. It's a Twilek-looking space princess named Ventolin Xthal, which is two references in one.  |

As former Heck detractor, I'd say that looks fine. But I still don't like his scratchy self inking on Superhero stuff.

While finding my cover for the weekly contest, I noticed one of the features in New Fun, the first comic from DC's predecessor company. It's a science fiction feature set in the far-off year of 2023. The feature ran in the first 14 issues of New Fun/More Fun. From ComicBookPlus, here's the first installment of "2023: Super-Police" by Ken Fitch and Clem Gretter:  |
