I...Thanks for the link. Some great stuff there. <br /><br />I'm not sure your order of events is right, though. <br /><br />The Roussos version came out in 1951, as did most of his art for EC. <br /><br />Krigstein didn't draw for EC until 1953, and futhermore this art was clearly being done for a 3-D comic, and the two 3-D comics EC published were in 1954. <br /><br />So the Roussos story came first, and then years later they got Krigstein to re-draw it for 3-D, but either it was rejected or (more likely) the 3-D boom went bust before the comic was finished.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10314381.post-69655567103453730102011-02-08T08:01:07.417-05:002011-02-08T08:01:07.417-05:00Krigstein drew Slave Ship but his artwork was reje...Krigstein drew Slave Ship but his artwork was rejected, and the story was redrawn (in a very much inferior style) by Roussos, who was never much of a penciller and spent most of his career as an inker and colourist.<br /><br />The rejected Krigstein pencils can be found (in excellent, large scans) here: http://www.jhalpe.com/items/index/page:27/search:ECartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10314381.post-80957696479989246832010-03-21T01:38:22.773-04:002010-03-21T01:38:22.773-04:00Nope, it's signed by Roussos.
