N e r V Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I think you could do nearly endless threads on both the use of D*ck in comics and of Archie innuendo in their stories. Edited June 1, 2019 by N e r V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul © ® ⚽️💙™ Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I love Johnny Craig but what about this for artistic laziness?

Note the first three panels on this page, from the story 'Backlash' in CRIME SUSPENSTORIES #4 I think you misunderstood the artistic intent of using the same panels. My interpretation is that the panels represent a cinematic style where the self-absorbed main character is in the foreground and there are other people talking in the background. Comic panels are static and various methods are used to convey movement. The characters are just talking and not physically moving so their changing conversation convey the passage of time. As you can see in the later panels the main character is lost in his own thoughts especially in the black panel where he is spotlighted. Although a little bit of time was saved by using the same panels, I think it would be artistically lazy if there was one panel with just text or one panel with huge word ballons of the conversations. That would not look as nice. EC books were much better written and drawn than most other comics of the time. Snaves, AJD and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about this for some time before I posted because I have read all the EC stories before and I also have a strong understanding of PCH, it is after all my favourite genre. Yes EC were for the most part better written than most of the competitors of the time, but they were also extremely formulaic as well. JC wrote his own stories as well as illustrating them rather than the usual scripted Feldstein efforts. I always loved the quirkiness of Craig's style, but it does have faults. A better interpretation of being 'lost in thoughts' might have been the protagonist's character not moving but the background characters having some sort of slight movement in my opinion. To show all the characters with absolutely no movement is kind of patronising to the reader, and frankly, rather lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
