Not emulate, just flat-out COPY. To me, his pencils and inks were just very clean. Put him together with Neal Adams and WOW. The "Limited Collector's" Tabloid with Batman and Ra's Al Ghul is still some of my favorite art ever.<br />BTW, his was the only artist's name /initials on Superboy/LSH #'s 252-269 (except for 262 and 268), after inking Staton's work on prior covers.<br />RIP indeed, he was a treasure.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-86445625819032442052010-03-28T18:53:07.951-05:002010-03-28T18:53:07.951-05:00=(

I especially liked his inks on Dick Dillon's JLA art. <br /><br />I also remember the first time I ever noticed Giordano's skill as a penciller: his Wonder Woman-Zatanna chapter for JLA 200, which I still think is one of the most beautifully drawn stories I've ever seen.Brainy Piratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211854889809515154noreply@blogger.com
