Alex was redrawn to avoid a lawsuit from the publishers of Dan Dare, it seems.
Innnnteresting! I did not know that, Evan, thanks!
Hey, not fair! I'm not a fan of Mike Royer's work with Kirby, but he was no Colletta (in the sense of not respecting the penciller's work)!
I was actually kidding. He just looks kinda like him.
Ahhh! Ya got me, Evan!
(shrieks like Lucille Bluth discovering Gene Parmesan)
Yatz: you're absolutely right about Mike Royer. (And in some cases I actually like Colletta's work.)
But I will never let that stand in my way of writing a Vince Colletta joke! Haw!
