Interesting that you would say the crossover strips were done later. What we’re seeing now is more like what I’ve come to expect as the “Joe Staton” style (the thinner, more angular face on Lizz, for example). I’ve seen Mr. Staton’s style evolve over the decades, and I’m looking forward to seeing him settle in here.
I can appreciate how hard it must be to take over someone else’s franchise and show respect to the style it used to have. I would say he’s risen admirably to the challenge. It doesn’t hurt that Staton is, IMO, a much better artist than Gould ever was.
