I never appreciated Bellamy's original art until I saw one where the blues had not faded like this one. The colour was eye-poppingly good. Even the Eagle in its photogravure stage didn't get it perfect. Paul Holder and I once sat and compared an original art he owned to the Eagle comic where it was published and a reprint book in which it appeared. And those were the stages of 'bleaching' out that occurred. By the time Eagle published Heros the Spartan it appeared as a muddy mess IMHO, but one can still see how brilliant his designs are!<br />Thanks for the comment<br />Norman<br />P.S. I wish I had your memory!! I must find the Road films and watch them again!Norman Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786362698394605291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289256621546551155.post-26821187118135515032017-05-11T02:56:56.081+01:002017-05-11T02:56:56.081+01:00Hell's bells, Norman, I used to think the qual...Hell's bells, Norman, I used to think the quality of reproduction in TV21 was amazing, but compared to the original art you've shown here, it looks inadequate. It reminds me of Dorothy Lamour's line in Road to Morocco - "A sparrow is considered beautiful until it stands next to a peacock."Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
