The artist has taken great pains to avoid drawing hands.

I'm not sure that's a fair comment. After all there are two hands quite prominently displayed in the picture.
ReplyDeleteTo me, taking great pains to avoid drawing them would involve strategically placing objects in front of them; like nipples in comic aimed at teens.
I dunno. Given the detail in Jervis' backgrounds I thought it odd that all the hands are hidden or off-scene.
ReplyDeleteBut what do I know? I'm no Da Vinci.
It's a lot like Rob Liefeld and feet.
ReplyDeleteWhere'd they go?
I don't like actually referring to you-know-who here, so I figured it went without saying.
