DC and Marvel and Tower all tried to adopt a house style. But with these comics by Boyette, Morisi, Ditko, McLaughlin, Grainger, and Giordano were very different from one another. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-23855436062584629262014-08-14T01:48:06.325-04:002014-08-14T01:48:06.325-04:00It's entirely possible this was part of a plan...It's entirely possible this was part of a plan of sorts.
