even if it's a beat to Hell copy any Micronauts issue from the Mantlo/Golden run being sold for only 25 cents is almost criminal. it's a shame Michael Golden left the series so early on although for me the biggest comic book art tragedy will forever be steve ditko replacing Sal Buscema on ROM spaceknight. dikto was an artist for his time and even by the late 70s his time had passed. ditko's retro style of penciling looked ridiculous compared to the dynamic art of greats like Sal Buscema, Michael Golden and Neal Adams. ditko also did the pencils for Micronauts annual 1 just compare the art work in it to the stuff that Michael Golden did on the series it's like apples and oranges.
ReplyDeleteThere was definitely some great stuff being produced by Mantlo and his collaborating artists in this era.
Deletethat was a very . . diplomatic response to my comment : )
DeleteHoward Chaykin took over the penciling for Golden on the Micronauts but he didn't last long. unlike Golden the issue with Chaykin was the quality of his work on the series Mantlo stated that he felt that Chaykin's heart just wasn't in it. I certainly hold Chaykin's work during this era in much higher regard then I do ditko but I think Mantlo was right when it came to The Micronauts.
