JB: I look back on those old EC stories, and I reject any comment that calls my stuff "wordy"!!

This comment reminds me how much I miss the days when you couldn't read a new comic in under five minutes. There are books being published now which only have a few more words than that "Silent Interlude" issue of GI Joe Marvel published back in 1984 (which they did in a line wide "Nuff Said" thing back in 2001 as well).
When you're already paying 4 dollars for a new issue to be able to read it in five minutes makes it one of the worst entertainment values in existence. Yay for decompression.
That said, yes, you should be able to tell what's going on from the story using just the art, but comics are kind of supposed to be a combination of pictures AND words and most people reading them want to actually, you know, read!
Anyway, I never found your comics "wordy," JB. Is that really a complaint that's been leveled against you? Jeez.
