Maybe, but I guarantee they aren't considered a comic legend because of that crude, child-like art. I am aware of the art movement that elevated unskilled artists beyond what their art should have. I always argued there is a vast difference between untrained artist who show ability, like folk artist or outside artists and artist who simply can't draw. This falls into the latter group for me. I haven't read the book, but I don't think its crude. It's effective cartooning, with clear actions and expressions (see panel 8). Also, the perspectives in panels 5, 6, and 7 are well done and not easy to pull off.

I'm sure Bridwell knew, but it wasn't explicitly revealed in the series.

Hey Icctrombone , congrats on those Great Darkness pickups! I hope you enjoy them. 50 cents is a steal, unless they're missing pages. I have a story about that run. I sold them online years back and for the entire series I got .99 cents, Even though that saga is touted highly, it’s cheap to buy. Yeah--I don't know why but I've been seeing them in dollar bins pretty frequently. Easier to find them now than when I was trying to put it together a couple years after it came out.

A few things from the past couple of weeks. The Friday before I went on vacation, I helped a friend who was dealing at a show. Since I was going away, I only made one purchase for $8:
I stopped in a comic shop in Portland and got these two hardcovers for a total of $17
Finally, in an antique shop, there was a box marked "Misc. and Undergrounds." These were behind a bunch of 16s and Tiger Beats: I have Binky Brown, but thought this might be a first print. It's not, but it's in much better shape than the one I got from Kitchen Sink mail order in '75.

Both Prince Hal and MDG did not follow the part about no octopi or starfish or other multi limb animals. Whoops! Deleted
