Those STRANGE covers were Sooooooo much fun!
I had not really sat down and pored over Ditko as I
did working on them since I was a kid tracing his
Spider-Man shots. Of course, even in those
pre-InterNet days there were fans who were ticked
off that they were "just" Ditko swipes. Some folk
don't realize just how tough it is to not only copy a
pose, but a style.

Those are very impressive covers. If it weren't for the signatures (and, of course, the fact that they're being placed in The John Byrne Gallery) I'd think they were by Ditko himself. (You sure got the Ditko Hands down!) Did Ditko himself ever compliment you on them?

There's something odd about this cover....

.... I do have access to a "fixed" version. Should I include the image as originally published or as the artist intended? Comments, please!

Green lantern's bots are green, not white as they should be.

Ding Ding Ding Ding - we have a winner. I guess I won't have to use the Nancy Sinatra clue.

By the way, the corrected image can be seen in The Gallery here:
