Gives it a slightly a fuller look.

I can't imagine Eisenberg's pencils looking as off as page 20's picture of a seated Huck (the muzzle, especially), or as off-model as page 9's shot of Huck and Jinks. But the title page Huck is BEAUTIFUL. By the way, the GIANT STORY BOOK and TREASURY covers are among my favorites, and you're right--they were the perfect combination of flat and subtly shaded illustration, something ROGER RABBIT and everything in 2-D animation that followed (not to mention modern-day comic books) have been unable to duplicate. Between those Little Golden Books and the Dell (and the early Gold Key) Annuals with their painted covers, we got to see nearly every classic cartoon character at their most attractive.Mike Tiefenbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102752875776872720noreply@blogger.com
