 QUOTE:
I understand all the criticisms against Colletta, but I enjoyed him on Kirby and Tuska and Heck and Grell and probably more.

I share this viewpoint. I can't help but love the look of all the "Tales of Asgard," for example. I love it. And yet, as I've learned how much was removed from Kirby's original artwork, I can't help but hate that as well.

As for Mr. Colletta being instructed to redraw JB's faces -- I suppose to fix them? -- this I cannot understand. It's hardly the case that JB by 1981 was some kind of comicbook rookie. What a weird dictate from Jim Shooter.

What I loved about the beginning of the FF run is that as writer, penciler and inker (which my young self had never seen before) there was a degree of creative ownership that other books didn't have, and when I started putting the work more in the category of comic strip artists rather than comic book artists where that was far more common. That, and similar to the comic strips, the tenure on the book was longer than most as well.
