Jimmie and Flavio - nice ones, what more can I say.

Gerry - what issue (and year) would that Dr Strange ("Children of the Night") be from? It looks so much like the Marvel of my childhood... the way it's supposed to look in some sense.
Whatever else one can say about Shooter, there was a whole heckuva lot of classic Marvel made under his banner.

I really do need to read more Dr Strange. Still haven't gotten around to those Essentials yet (I will, Gerry, I will), but I wish there could be some Visionaries or Classic volumes collecting some of this nice looking stuff... in colour and all.

Btw, Gerry, I just realised... is this material that would be collected in the Dr Strange vs. Dracula: The Montesi Formula then?

Also, that recreation you had made of Strange coming down the stairs, was that also this era?

Do you happen to know if #56 is also in the TPB? That image is powerful.

Thanks Gerry, you're a rock. :)

Too bad # 56 wasn't in there though.

I’ve always liked these little moments between Bruce and Alfred.

Thanks! I can remember that particular piece of the puzzle dropping into place almost as if it was yesterday. I used to draw the outer circle of the iris, the inner black dot of the pupil, and a small open circle for the hi-lite, and it didn't look right.

Then some part of my brain one day (before I got into the Biz) said "shadow of the upper lid". It was like a religious epiphany. A quick stroke of the brush (or pen, in later years) and there was the eye I had been trying to draw all along.
