Humants 1 Page 12
Now let’s meet the rest of the team: Man Ark, Sojourner, and…
Mark’s Remarks: Maybe I am bias, but I like these pages. I thought these were some of Freazie and Al’s best work on Humants # 1. Of course there are always areas which could have been improved. That is always going to be the case with anything. So constructive criticism is always welcome and very much encouraged. It’s one of the best tools we have for learning in this business and fan feedback is the most valuable resource.Fan feedback was not always around in the comics industry for the most part. It was really a by-product of the Silver/Marvel Age of Comics. Comic books had letter columns before the ’60′s only in a few books. It was in the 1960′s when the letters to the editor really legitimatized comics fandom. Letter columns were a part of most comic books until recent years, when e-mail, forum pages, social network sites, and comment boxes on blog pages like we have here, more or less replaced them. Some comics still have LOC’s but they seem to be in the minority these days. I miss those, especially the ’60′s Marvel Comics Letters Pages. Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and others, with great help from the fans, made the Marvel LOC’s almost as entertaining as the comic book stories they produced!

Yeah, I see your point. We might have done that better and a better sound effect might have helped or an altogether different angle. Live and learn, eh? Thanks!
