Yeah I hastly quoted. I guess cause I always use Lone Star or host it and the link is always just generic. But thanks either way. I like Jack the Ripper stuff both fiction and non fiction.

I liked the Gil Kane pencils/ Murphy Anderson inking on GL #74 I was always a Marvel guy so don't have much experience of Anderson's work, but I'm always amazed when I'm reminded by samples like this of how good his stuff was. One of the best inkers ever. I was just thinking I should look for more of Gil Kane's DC work and was surprised to see he started so early on Green lantern - right at the first issue in 1960. What's considered the most "classic" part of his run on that book, if it can be narrowed down in any way? Or was it great right from the start? |

Just picked up a collection of Ripper short stories at a thrift store for two bucks; it includes the Bloch original. (And mrp's right.) abebooks has it cheap: www.abebooks.com/book-search/isbn/9780708840627/PS: Just noticed all the copies are from the UK, so the shipping's most of the cost. But someone stateside must have it, too.  |

I've never heard of the site, but it seems like ebay with the varying degrees of pricing for the book and the shipping but still coming out about the same total cost. Still it's a fair enough price I'll bite. Thanks Hal. |

Abebooks is not an auction site, it's just for books... like Amazon Marketplace, only a little more seller friendly. I lot of used book stores use it for their less mass market-y stuff.
Also, it's actually owned by Amazon (got bought out a few years ago).

Favorite: Alan Davis & Paul Neary. This was tough, but I've loved everything they've done together. From Batman to Excalibur, these guys go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
Least Favorite: Walt Simonson & Al Milgrom. Milgrom's style is a total mismatch with Walt's penciling. Walt is one of those unique talents that really needs to ink himself.

A favorite pairing I haven't seen mentioned:
Williamson / Frazetta
Least favorite:
Maybe Herb Trimpe / Al Milgrom, though I usually like both separately.

What did Trimpe and Milgrom work on together?
Sometimes Milgrom seems like two different artists to me - his earlier stuff, when he first started working for Marvel, always looked solid, if pedestrian, to me; but later one, in the 80s or late 70s, I didn't like his work at all. Not sure if it was his style that changed or the printing process or paper.

I am a big fan of George Perez's early Fantastic Four run, but the inking fiasco on #166 always irritated me! Compare it to the quality inking by Joe Sinnott in the very next issue...  |

Also, Pablo Marcus did some bad inking over Keith Pollard's & Perez's pencils on a few issues. Pablo Marcus has always been one of the worst inkers IMO, his particular style always overshadows the pencillers vision.
Some of the better art teams:
Kirby/Sinnott
Buscema/Sinnott
Byrne/Austin
Byrne/Ordway
Marshall Rogers/Austin
Neal Adams/Palmer
Neal Adams/Giordano
Perez/Al Vey
